3) Current gear? Have none, starting fresh
4) Planned use for the camera? Mixture of still frames as well as taking videos for skiing as well as skating around town
5) Ease of use for friends? Not much, I would rather prefer to shoot everything
6) How I film? With a tripod and hiking as well as with handheld moving
7) Computer I will be editing with 2.6ghz Quad Core with about 500GB with expandable external memory as well. Roughly 4GB of ram as well.
