LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF A....ER....CAMERA
At the risk of sounding increasingly like a camera anorak, the New York Times has more on the Sony PD150, the DV camera I've mentioned a few times recently.
The Times reveals that the digital wonder was responsible for recording the pictures of Saddam undergoing his medical exam. It seems it's not just us hacks who love 'em -- the US military are using them too.
Quote of the day comes from "combat cameraman" Staff Sgt. Wesley Wooten in Baghdad, who says:
"Basically what we're trained for is that the camera is our first weapon, and then our attack weapon is secondary to the camera...Me personally, I try to do both. We're lucky enough to carry pistols...You can shoot and shoot at the same time."
