Don Bloom, the voice of reason, hehe.

Steve, why so harsh when you have no idea how I work?

Hehe. Glad to be of service.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather use a wireless if I had the setup time. It's comforting to be able to monitor what's being recorded, even though with weddings there's...

You might consider buying a stand alone recorder of some type that you could use instead of wireless. For the same money, you could perhaps get better sound. It's been discussed a lot, and a quick...

Remember that flashing these models with the UMS firmware limits max recording bitrate to 96Kbps. Not very good compared to the usual 160Kbps (which is already not great).

Have you ever had the pinch roller replaced? Mine needed it after about a thousand hours, and if you have that many hours on it, you might want to look into it.

Pretty inexpensive repair. I think...

I have experience with 2 or 3 Z1s, and the backfocus sucked on all of them.

With my own, I get around it by using the expanded focus button instead of the traditional zoom in, focus, zoom out.

That top London photographer probably had it in his contract that they expect to be fed.

Too bad for the poor video guy. I don't blame you for feeling peeved at the one. I would have felt the same.

Yeah, sure. If you want to do anything beyond basic fixes, I would agree with Dave and Craig. You'd find it much easier to just import, re-edit, and take the recompression hit when re-exporting.

No, they haven't seen it yet. They'll know what to expect generally from seeing samples, but I haven't showed this to them. Soon, though. I'm almost finished!
