Re: X70 - update?
Never thought of that. TBH I don't manually zoom to zoom live, I only do it, out of habit, to focus. Again, prev camera method. For some reason I'm not in the habit of focus magnifier, although I do...

Re: Recommended Settings for PXW X70
I agree with Jeff re; Gain levels & Shutter Speed. I've had the X70 for this year & find that a Gain or 12-18 is the sweet spot for indoors, while over 18 starts to become critical mass. I've used 21...

Re: Need to upgrade camcorder in kit
Sorry for the delay in responding but it does work this way. There's an "Input 1" option at the front of the XLR box, which offers you to put it to Input 1&2 (ie same mic for both lines), or just...

Re: Need to upgrade camcorder in kit
Mike, I've thought about that but never did use it. I'll check but I'm pretty sure it would take Input 1, Input 2. I actually use the shotgun which came with my Z5 for most non-important stuff,...

Re: Need to upgrade camcorder in kit
MIke, I'm coming from the Sony Z5U and it was suggested to me to check out the Sony X70 which I ended up purchasing. A small little camcorder setup which packs a punch. It's got XLR inputs, manual...
