YES! YES!! YES!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!
I just recorded some H1 SDI output into my Kona card. It looks quite good, even though it's still compressed into DVCPRO HD, but I would much prefer a full raster...

Basically, all the codecs within Quicktime, but only some of them can be captured to in real time. I don't have a RAID yet, so uncompressed isn't possible. I'm thinking PhotoJPEG at 75% and DVCPRO...

Ready to test HD-SDI. Any requests?
Hello again,
I'm going to be doing some tests with the Kona card. No, I can't go anywhere cool as my computer is still home-studio bound, but I can shoot out my back yard and maybe down the...

Hey Nick,
I haven't had the VF "short" problem, but I'm going to be using the camera a lot this week, so if it's a common problem it'll probably show up. I'll run B&W mode often too.

I think the best codec is going to be PhotoJPEG at 75%, (1/10th file size of uncompressed, I think) and I'll try 100% if my drive can handle it. I think the data rate of this codec will be similar to...

1) Didn't see any lit pixels.
2) Yeah, I've noticed a little ghosting in the VF. Not sure what it is, but it
wasn't bothersome. 24F definitely more noticeable.
3) Yes, there is a little...

Gonna try them all. I think the SDI contenders will be 10 and 8 bit uncompressed (I need to build a minimum 4 disk SATA RAID for this) and DVCPRO HD. I might even have the option of QRez with the...

I'll try that soon, Joseph, and if I can get my G5 portable set up going, I'll try it in different codecs too. Actually, at least with HDV, --in theory-- if one were to get the PAL modification and...

I've thought the same thing about HDCAM F900 at times. There are many examples of it that look rather slurry and electronic, (Fahrenheit 911, Collateral) but then I've also seen wondrously dead-on...

Good post, Joseph. I mostly agree with you. I think Canon, in general,
is fairly conservative in their approach to camcorders...and most
definitely with the H1. It's certainly meant to appeal to a...

It might've looked much better had I more experience with this camera.
Playing with the master pedestal and sharpness levels might've made it silky smooth. Still, I'm very happy with how it...

Hi Bryon,
To wit, there are NO uncompressed deck options, HD or SD, even approaching $50K. Wafian is compressed, albeit claimed to be visually lossless (which I'm inclined to believe), but it is...

I'll check that stuff for you this afternoon. Initially, I can say that I did notice some mild ghosting, particularly in 24F while using peaking focus assist in manual mode.
Here are a few clips...

Alright, I think I've already made a few mistakes with the camera, but here are some shots from last night. These were shot at -3db, mostly wide open.
