Re: 4K Televisions etc

I also got a Panasonic Viera about the same time, but mine was only 39"(about as much as I could spend at the time). Replaced it with a Sony 46" LCD after about 5 years and gave the Panasonic to my...

Re: What's this worth? FCS2 new in shrink-wrap

There is no marking on the discs themselves to answer that, but the manual makes reference to "inserting them into your DVD drive". My recollection is that they are DVD's, but I don't have any DVD...

Re: What's this worth? FCS2 new in shrink-wrap

Thinking about this some more.... I don't believe there are any processor limitations, but there's another installer issue with graphics chips/cards. The installer checks your GPU against a list of...

Re: What's this worth? FCS2 new in shrink-wrap

Hey Chris,

I still have my copy of this.... it was a long time ago but I'm pretty sure you gave it to me! :) This is the one that includes Final Cut Pro 6. There was one update to "legacy" FCP -...

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

Thanks Doug - your PMW-EX1 Field Guide is always in the case with my camera, it's very handy for refreshing my memory since I don't use it very often. Amazing to see the prices of your older gear and...

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

My recollection of old threads here was that there were limitations to the SD card adapter, even with proper firmware. Like maybe you couldn't shoot at the HQ (35Mbs) mode? Or maybe it had to do with...

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

Getting back to the topic of memory cards... I'm confused about which ones will work in my old EX-1. It reports firmware version as V1.11_0531

In the printed manual that came with the EX-1 it says...

Re: The price of HI8 is skyrocketing?

I have just a few old Hi-8 tapes that would be nice to digitize, but it's really not a priority. One of them was about an hour filmed during a visit to my Grandmother's place when she was 95 years...

Re: Mac Sierra Users: Don't Upgrade to High-Sierra - yet

Thanks Robert, I had no intention of upgrading anyway. I am very reluctant to upgrade MacOS, my two main systems were on 10.8.5 until about 6 months ago when I upgraded to Sierra. I have so much...

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

Thanks - that's a good suggestion about presetting the gears, will have to play with that a bit. Maybe difficult to do in the context of a single camera shoot of a live performance though.

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

Thanks Bob, but that isn't quite the issue. The problem is that it's virtually impossible to make a smooth start to a slow zoom. Once the zoom is in progress, everything is fine, but there's a jolt...

Re: Sony EX-1: can it use large capacity SxS card, or SD card (in adapter)?

I've thought about updating the firmware on my EX-1 but have been reluctant to risk something that could brick it. I don't shoot much these days and it's my only camera.

Looks like that lens...
