Whales Up Close, in High-Def...

[Vie]

From the New York Times (By Matt Villano):

"This winter, one researcher, Jason Sturgis, 31, changed everything, becoming the first to capture underwater scenes of humpbacks frolicking in the waters of Hawaii with a Sony HVR-Z1U high-definition video camcorder. Mr. Sturgis compiled three months of videotape - detailed images that researchers said have revolutionized how they study whales."

It's great they are getting new visual information about whales, but the article is primarily extolling the virtues of the Sony HD camera. The housing looks like a Gates unit. X
