He aims to help the reader to make better videos with less pain, less expense and much better results.;This is a humorous, yet factual, look at the subject of camcorders, full of personal but apposite anecdotes. It covers all aspects of video cameras and video making.;Step-by-step instructions are given in a series of letters to Arnold, the all-time dunce.
