The usefulness of buying used and knowing your needs cannot be overstated. I bought an HV30 for my stay in Japan and found it gathering dust all year. Then I bought an HD1000 for $250 used recently...

Just stepped into Yodobashi Camera last night. Turns out the place is right across from my hotel building! In any case, it looks like exactly the kind of toy shop I will be needing (the mark-up...

Hi David.
I'll admit upfront that I'm not expert but, from what I've read in The Guerilla Filmmaker's Handbook (excellent resource written in Europe, btw), you'll probably want to leave it at...

I'm just going to throw a counterpoint to that and say that SD was (is?) not uncommon. Outside of countless indie films, 28 Days Later was shot on an XL-1 and many, many TV shows were (and quite...

Oh, I hear you and am aware of the price difference. The only problem is that I've pretty much stocked up all I can before worrying about being able to survive the first month before the first good...

Hi there,
I'm supposed to do a music video shoot this weekend and the band wanted to have a long one-take shot from the backseat of the car.
