Re: guys i have to tell you: the D7100 is coming.....

As I expected, a totally useless response from Nikon on this issue:

Dear Mr. Bird,

Thank you for contacting Nikon. I do apologize for any inconvenience. In regards of this issue, we cannot...

Re: guys i have to tell you: the D7100 is coming.....

Yep. It's a problem with the file format.

Today I dropped a few "60i" files from the cameras into Compressor and looked at them in the inspector. The inspector thinks they are 59.94 progressive...

The Nikon D7100 has a completely flawed 60i format

I just bought a pair of D7100 cameras and there is a huge problem with the 60i video mode. The 30p mode looks good and sharp, and acts as it should when converted to AIC or ProRes or whatever, and...

Re: Unexpected Surprise: PMW-200 Audio!

Another tip is that if you run channels 1&2 with separate sources, (i.e. lav and shotgun) and AGC on, remember to go into the menu and separate the AGC to mono. The camera can pair the AGC as stereo...

Re: At half the price of a 1-chip PMW-100, anyone used an HM-150 XDCAM with an EX1?

I see what you mean.

This generation of people who are obsessed with limited depth of field probably have a lot of footage out of focus, that's all I can say. I have a hard enough time getting a...

A few pointers for using XQD cards with PMW-200

Re: A few pointers for using XQD cards with PMW-200

Exactly. And Sony never mentions the XQD driver requirement anywhere on their site that I could find! They only talk about the SxS driver and the UDF driver. Without the XQD driver, you are hosed!

I have had no problems with any class 10 cards I have used. I only buy quality cards (Lexar/Sandisk) so I haven't experimented with the ultra-cheapies.

It is important to note that you must install the V2.0 of the UDF driver because this is the one that supports XQD cards.

Re: At half the price of a 1-chip PMW-100, anyone used an HM-150 XDCAM with an EX1?

Small sensors have MORE depth of field than large ones, not the other way around. It's low light performance than suffers with small sensors.
