I already ordered a replacement H2, the H4n doesn't have enough features for me to bother with the upgrade. XLR inputs are nice, but I already have a Juicedlink.

Mmm... the colors might be different if you switch to a different camera; and if you're switching to a camera with a different chip size (say, going from a Z7u to a HG20) you may have different DOF.

Fixing Broken Zoom H2?

I fried a Zoom H2 by subjecting it to NZ voltage - thought the AC adapter could handle it, but apparently, it couldn't.

I was quoted $50/hr plus parts, with a minimum of $50 just to have Samson...

8.0c. I use Magic Bullet as well, though I'm kinda weaning myself off of it and going for more stuff using Vegas's built in color correction tools.

Activation is a pain

I bought NeoScene a while ago to do inverse telecine for HG20 24p clips.

If they can't be identified from the picture, you're good in any case - might be a good use of Magic Bullet's "Edge Softness" tool.

Blur 'em, and you should be fine.
