Thanks guys. Very informative.

Hi Guys,

I'm considering the 6x lens. I've searched everywhere on the net but I can't find its dimensions or weight.

How does it compare to the stock 20x? Is it any lighter, shorter? I'm...

Hard light or soft light on a Porche?

Hi guys,

I'm shooting a Porsche in a showroom next week, in a mix of daylight and whatever I provide. The thing is, it's not a large showrom and it's not a job as such - the Porsche dealership...

Hmmm, I can't agree with that. I have shot dual camera projects in SD intercutting between XL2 & H1. I prefer the H1, better colour reproduction and noticeably cleaner. Half a stop faster too.

Espon DVD printer - how do you avoid smearing?

It's native 16:9 in both HDV and DV. It can do 4:3 in SD mode by cropping. IMHO, it's fantastic in SD 16:9 and there's no point downconverting from HDV 16:9 if you have no intention of delivering...
