I'm sure there were decent cameras in the mid-aughts EVEN in Australia!!
lol. you do realise that Australia's been on par technologically with the states since before PCs right? haha
but thinking realistically, i think it was appropriate for the time and family type. Did you know anyone who could afford a HD camera 6 years ago, let alone have more than one video camera at that time? the handy cam wave only really kicked in around 07-08 in the migration to HD, where all standard def cameras (and tvs) started getting sold for next to nothing. but in 2005 it was still way too expensive for an average family to consider as a good investment. its not like they were gonna buy all new tech for filming either when it was really an activity of personal interest.
and also yeah, it was mostly to justify the blurriness. but that felt entirely in context. :)
