Got it today. All I have to say is WOW. This is going to take a bit to get comfortable shooting with this. This thing is light for its size. Trying to figure out the best way to hold while shooting off the tripod.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I was considering use one. Worried about the sway. I'll give it a shot as soon as I get off my cruches. Knee surgery has me down for another month.

I used the hmc-150 for the first time on a project doing some corporate videos and it did a GREAT job!

I filmed the interview and other footage using 1080-30p and the results were very sharp and great colors. I used automatic settings and am very pleased.

I am a big fan of cineform Prospect HD so it was so easy to convert the avchd clips to cineform .avi.

The latest Prospect HD has a program included called First Light which does a GREAT JOB of color correcting film footage. Cineform is not cheap but I could not imagine editing HD without it.

As for HMC-150 - I can not imagine using a tape camcorder anymore. Tapeless is the way to go!

Thats great to hear. Been looking at Cineform Neoscene my self since I am on a mac. A bit pricey but if the the quality is there, worth the money. I just need to find out if iMovie/FCE will transcode again when I bring it in. I've played a little with 720/30 and 720/60. Next is to try 1080/30 to compare. Could you tell me if there was any jaggies from fast movements (if any)?

Simon Zimmer July 28th, 2009 10:51 AM

Not sure about jaggies because this was corporate video work so no fast pans or anything. All quite slow.

If you have the $$, get cineform, you will not be disappointed!!
