EventDV Review of the HMC150
Here's the link to the review I did of the HMC150. It includes the first of five video clips.

zoom speed
Fantastic review Mark.
Am I right in saying that the zoom speed of the 150 is very very slow going from full wide to tight? Gee is it really 3.2 seconds? That is mighty slow |

Hi Martin,
Yes, the servo zoom is slow. I mainly use manual zoom to zoom in and get focus or to reframe the shot. I don't know what you are currently shooting with, but the manual zoom on the Sony Z1 is a little slower than the HMC150. The manual zoom on the Canon XH-A1 is a lot slower than the manual zoom of the HMC150. The main time I use the servo is during the ceremony and special dances. Does your shooting style require you to use the servo or the manual zoom? I do like the fact that the manual zoom is a real physical zoom control where many other models are just an electronic control of the zoom ring. |

Re: EventDV Review of the HMC150
Is there a tutorial DVD explaining the different parts of Panasonic AG HMC 150 and what it means and how to use it? Yes I know there is an operating instruction on this camera, but I'd like to see a tutorial video explaining how to use this camera?

Hi Melvin,
Barry Green has an excellent book on the HMC 150. I considered making a DVD tutorial, but did not know if it would be a good investment of my time. Do you have a specific question that the Von Real episodes did not answer? |
