Come on Bruce do you really think they look as good as a CCD chip camera (not even close)

I showed the footage to a couple of people that dont even work in the industry and they noticed it slow the footage down and then please dont tell me it looks fine

Sorry it's just a huge disappointmet

CCD and CMOS have their strong and weak points.

I'd prefer to have a CMOS camera when shooting an event (im an event videographer) with lots of bright lights in the background as it has no smear. I'd use a CCD camera when I know I will have lots of camera flashes to deal with.

Yes, i know you were talking directly to bruce, but really, people have different needs so if he likes the camera the way it is, let him be.

I never said it is a crap camera it just does not suit a wedding videographer in your case Ryan it's fine.

Don't do it scott read past posts i've done so much research trying to convince myself it's the right camera for weddings but it's not. I've contact guys using it for weddings and they are disappointment.But it's your call

I can buy it and keep the CF recorder :-). I have read and read, and I am NOT
going to give sony that much money for a 12x lens, crappy rolling shutter and
slow as hell AF. I will take a nice long look at the new Panasonic this fall.

you have GOT to be kidding me, right?
CMOS/CCD....if you can't see the advatntages/disadvantages in each, in their own right, your'e kinda doomed as a "successful" videographer, ya know?
There really isn't a lot of room for delimiters in this biz. If you have some(delimiters that is), get some therapy b4 it's too late for you to make a career.

What a disappointment this is supposed to be a professional camera i would understand if they use cmos in consumer cameras but in bloody PRO CAMERAS.

Rob, if the HVRZ7 isn't selling in Sydney can you point me to a dealer that has loads of stock on the shelf and is complaining that they can't sell them?

Scott, why don't you rent one first and try it for yourself? IMHO, using the internet for research is great, but making significant purchase decisions based on forum posts isn't the best approach.

Surely actually getting your hands on a camera and giving it a try in your specific application is the way to go.

I've done 3 weddings with the Z7 and it's great. Flashes are no problem... I don't understand your comments?

Robert, you're right, no one said that they were complaining. If anything, there isn't enough stock to sell, as opposed to there being low demand.

You have slowed the footage where lots of flashes have been going off you don't notice pixelation at all

Come on Robert - sharp images and satisfied customers rule my world - not analysing pixels under a microscope for "Chromatic Aborations" and all the rubbish some people seem to babble about on the forums...

Robert do you even own a Z7 or are you just going by what all the forums tell you? Cause i do own one and have used it for weddings with no problems.
Some of the issues people come up with seem to me to be excuses to not buy this camera rather than just admit they don't want to spend that much.
