Re: HXR-NX5 bayonet mount question.
No, the bayonet on the Z1 and the NX5 are different. The filter threads are the same at 72mm, but the bayonets are different so that you won't accidentally attach the Z1's hood to the NX5 and get...

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread
Only push the on-screen stabilisation button when you want the maximum stabilisation and you can put up with the not-inconsiderable side-effects. You can zoom or pan or tilt without the camera...

Re: Deciding on new camera
I'm with you Ron, my NX5 has been somewhat of a disappointment after my Z1 and alongside the diminutive Panasonic SD 900. Don't get me wrong, the NX5 can at times give outstanding results but it...

Re: ND - internal vs external filters
It can be a problem that the cheaper neutral density filters aren't neutral, and they can indeed give a colour cast to your footage. You say you 'experienced really poor picture quality' and this...

Re: Camera bag recommendation for NX5U

Re: Is the 'NX5' the PMW-160??
The PMW-150 in PAL land was shown at BVE in London last month and as Sony weren't showing the NX5 anywhere on their stand I took that to mean the 150 replaces the NX5. It must do; the specs are too...

Re: SD or HDV for DVD delivery.....
The Z5 uses three 1440 x 1080 chips, so if you switch it into the DV mode the camera is doing the down-conversion between chips and tape, doing it in real time and doing it using a pretty basic...

Re: Expected Lifespan of NX5U
It's difficult to 'use an NX5 to death', David. The electronics of the camera should last for years and years if they last the first three months. But there's a lot of mechanical moving parts in an...

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread

Re: leave lens attached?
I leave a mid-range zoom on the body at all times. I have the battery charged and a card in the slot. I have 800 ISO dialed in and I'm ready to go as fast as I can switch it on.

Re: NX5U/AX-2000 annual maintenance
You don't say what the belly-up failure was, so it's hard to give advice as to whether preventative maintenance is worth while. I'd not bother myself - I'd invest all that money in a backup camera...

Re: GoPro Fogging Issues
You're right - removing a plastic injection moulded, totally un-coated and unnecessary front element from your camera's lens is a very good idea indeed.
