Hey everyone,

I've recently decided to finally switch and go all DSLR (atm I use one EX1 and one 550D).

I'm going to get either another 550, or a 650, but my main concern is what lens would be...

Re: Workflow - EX1 & 550D/T2i

Thanks Andy, very helpful. I'm pleased you suggest not converting the EX1 stuff to ProRes. I wasn't looking forward to having to do that! Already takes enough time as it is, converting the 550 clips....

Re: iMac, Macbook Pro, or both?

Thanks very much for the advice.

Sounds like the idea of getting both might be the way forward. Do you think the i7 processor is essential?

Hello!

My old Macbook Pro has died so I need to invest in a new Mac set up. I've got about £2000 to spend, and can't decide whether to get just a top of the range Macbook Pro, or a 27'' iMac + a...

Re: Anyone deliver on USB Drives?

We've been providing all our couples with USB sticks for a year now. We split the completed video into 3 or 4 separate videos (so each one is less than 4GB, so they will each fit onto the drive).

Selling my Z1... What to buy now?

I’ve been filming weddings now for a year, using a Z1 and a T2i. I’ve never been massively happy with the Z1, as its really pretty rubbish in low light. So I’ve finally decided to invest in an...
