Omidyar had a typical programmer's view of the Net. He saw it as a freewheeling, authority-defying medium, and he was proud of his fledgling site's noncorporate orientation.

They get out near Jovellanos, and we never get their names. In Jovellanos, a medium-size adobe town of narrow streets, we get lost, quickly and irrevocably. At a street corner, there appears beside us a man on a bicycle. He knows where to go, he says--just follow him.

What about the camera? Right now, Canon and Sony have got the DV camcorder market sewed up. Each has a choice of cameras in the high-, medium- and low-price range. Expect to pay up to $4,199 and to get what you pay for. Real professional quality means a camera with three CCDs--that is, three separate prisms to capture red, green and blue light--and a shotgun microphone, like the one boasted by the $2,500 Canon GL-1.
