Re: Need to pass on advice on "personal" camera
I work with a few prosumer people who do very similar shoots. I have recommended the HMC-40 to them and they couldn't be happier. One did an hour long documentary with over 50 interviews and it...

Re: How is LANC Control for the XF300?
I agree that you should give it a try. The camera's really the best in it's price range. The Canon controller is quite useable. I'd imagine the Manfrotto and Libec are too. My comment was just in...

Re: My xf100 just arrived today!
Richard, I think your chin is gonna hit the floor if you're used to seeing hdv from the a1. The 50mbs full 1920x1080 progressive is in a very different league. I have used the 105 a few times and its...

Re: How is LANC Control for the XF300?

Re: Glidecam good?
I use a 4000hd with a vest/arm with my xf300 which is about the same size and weight. Agree with the vest and arm being necessary for extended shooting with that size camera.
As for the quality, I...

Coming from the audio side of the world, pairs were nice to have as lots of stuff get recorded in stereo. If you're doing ambient recording then yes, a matched pair would be useful. Having a backup...

Re: GoPro HD and Contour HD Test
Very interesting! I'm still testing the new Replay XD which looks a lot better than my Contour. Loving the hdmi out and external mic input. Have to get my buddys GoPro to do a side by side.

In any case, the 100/105 only have one lens ring and an assignable knob at the front. There is no...

Re: What is a good step up from the XHA1?
If you're a Canon die-hard, the 300/305 is the ticket (even against all the other cameras under $8k IMHO)
The XF100/105 are in your price range and are also killer cameras but don't have the full...
