Re: feedback on music video greatly appreciated
nitpicking but I agree with the slightly underexposed. You could easily just change the gamma a bit to tweak it. I would want to see the sky a bit overexposed. I've gotten some really interesting...

Re: Compact HD Camera w/ Big Punch!
Pro VS prosumer
Codec is different. Media is different. The CF cards are much more robust than SD cards. List goes on but if you want the best quality, 4:2:2 50mbps the XF can't be beat for it's...

I have looked at a few services that offer multicam time-lapse and they don't have personnel on site. Once the cameras are...

Re: What's the longest lens you use?
I have shot a few events with my 100-400 and it is razor sharp with no vignetting. As with ANY long focal length you must have a great tripod or every flaw will show up.

I have used the H4n many times. Works very well. The cool thing is you can use the built in mics to record ambient and use the inputs for lavs or shotguns. 4-track recording!
