I use the rode sm5 and always found that my MK416 with rycote softie seems way to flexible inside it, one little movement and the mic can be pointing at the sky.

With the EX1 though I've found I...

Hi Steven, yes I can see it in the upper corners, but only slightly and nowhere near as badly as the first camera I had. I am nervous about having it messed with, but if they make it worse I'll show...

Mines going back this week too. I've started noticing it more and more, especially with OIS on and the reports from others who have said it's totally gone means that it's worthwhile getting it looked...

Beautiful piece, one of the nicest things I've seen yet - even though I didn't understand a word of it :)

I've placed an order for the Pioneer BDR-202 which was the same cost as the LG and is reported to work with Macs. It's also capable of 6x burning, although most of the media is still limited to 2x...

I canceled the LG drive but further investigation does show that there are drives made by Logitec, MCE & Fastmac which all work from within the Mac Pro. I've made the decision to hold out for a...

Steve could you let me know in what way it's not compatible? Is it a driver issue? I was hoping the mac OS would be able to see it as it's a SATA device, but if there's driver issues I'll try...

Has anyone installed a Blue-Ray Sata drive in a mac pro yet? I've got one coming on Thursday so I'm going to have a crack at it myself and wondered what the mac OS would make of the drive.

Thanks...

I think it's more a limitation of the flash player than the way the file is encoded. Try running it full screen on vimeo, when you do that the res isn't great but it uses hardware instead of software...

I don't think the two are related, If I'm not careful I can drop the filter halfway over the image too, but personally I'm not bothered by it, It's easy so feel when it hasn't engaged properly.

No probs Jamie.

You can to a point, the camera can only capture at a frame rate of up to 30fps in 1080p. That isn't really enough for decent slow motion, but the lower res of 720p allow you to...

In theory 50p footage should produce much better 25p slow motion material than 50i footage as it won't require splitting the resolution between frames.

Hows its done though I don't have a clue.
