Re: anything new on LED?
Peter, I'm glad you mentioned that light. I've been looking around for a ringlight lately...
Osmany, I don't know what's new-new, but here's two on-camera lights I've been using for weddings (in...

Asking clients if you can display their videos
Hi,
Wondering what is the normal practice with this. We normally have a clause in the contract asking the client to indicate if they don't want us to use their videos at our website. A high...

Re: What to watch out for at Greek christening?
Thank you very much, sir. You've eased my worries a little.
I'm sure the volume levels will be loud enough for on-camera sound to pick up. But I think I'll still deploy four microphones around the...

What to watch out for at Greek christening?
Hi, I'm shooting one on Sunday. I know some of you guys (ahem, Stelios) must have a lot of experience in such things. Would you have any advice as to what to watch out for and what the normal order...

Re: Another Mk3 or the C100?
To be honest, it just wasn't on my radar; I suppose because the camera news blogs I follow don't really talk about it.
In hindsight... You're right! it does look like a better video buy to me...

What aspect ratio for DVD?
I normally export in 4:3, and haven't had any complaints. But am I living in the past here? What proportion of TV owners now have a widescreen?

Have to add the thought that I've now talked myself out of a C100 and have gone with getting another Mk3!
Main considerations were:
-- Mk3 resolution, recording time, low light were good...

I'm not technically-minded at all, but SD seems considerably slower to me. Maybe 2 to 4...

Re: High dynamic range on Mk3

Hi Robert, just did a quick test on this.
Basically, I was able to whack with a Canon lens, but only in a limited way. I know nothing about lens construction. It seemed like, with a 50mm lens, and...

Re: New business, could use a few specific tips.

-- expose for faces (and any lighting you can supply from camera direction will make it easier)
-- but treat highlights as a limiting factor.
