Re: Can This Camera Be Saved? Please Help.
Barry, I wouldn't power it up until about a week. Is the container sealed? Otherwise the rice is just absorbing the moisture from the room. Might even change the rice once during the week.

Re: Spring at Fall Creek
Thanks Tim. I have been thinking about getting a GH2 for macro and wide scenic shots. These kind of shots is where the HPX170 is a little weak in capturing fine details.

Re: Best way to shoot and export to SD
In my experience and others 1080p does not downsize for SD-DVD as well as 720p does. Also, if your camera only shoots 30fps in 1080p then you can not get good slow-motion like with 720p60 in a 30fps...

Re: Inside a Bogen 501
Been using my 501 head with WN3221 legs and 1/2 ball leveler for going on 7 years now without any problems. It is smooth enough for 95% of what I shoot.
