The 8-core Mac Pro should be about 9-12 times faster than your machine. Per GHz, Intel is about 25% faster than a similarly clocked G4.

If you're converting programs 90 minutes or so in length,...

You can with software packages like Apple's Compressor 2 & 3. I've shot footage in 25P and converted it to 60i, easily. (The only downside is rendering time as Compressor has to rebuild the missing...

Comparing the output of 1920x1080 produced by a dSLR to that of any HD camcorder, the results from a camcorder is positively downright depressing. The venerable Z1 produces HD that looks like...

That's a good point, Khoi. Sony's implementation of auto/manual controls can be confusing to someone coming over from the DVX100.

Conversely, if you are a manual shooter, you must put two of the...

Some zoom lenses have a constant aperture (usually f2.8 like the Nikon 80-200mm AF-D (http://photo.net/photo/nikon/80-200-2.8.html)), but they tend to be more expensive to produce.

The FX1 f-stop rating is 1.6 to 2.8 from wide to fully zoomed in. Most zoom lenses (video and photo) exhibit this behavior.

You might need to gain up by 9+db, which represents about 1 1/2 stops.

You mentioned you make short films... in that case, I would go with the Canon XH-A1 instead of the H1 and with the money you save, buy a DOF adaptor such as the SGPro. Get some used 35mm lenses and a...

Eugenia,

I like the cinemode image as it is, "unsharp" and all. I understand that you want to sharpen cinemode images so it is as sharp as auto mode, but it's not as simple as picking low hanging...

On a news shoot today, the producer requested it shot in NTSC SD in 4:3 aspect ratio. He also wanted it shot on miniDV tapes so his editor can work with it. Not a problem on the Z1.

I have a Z1. If I bought today, I would go with the A1, regardless of the battery issue.

Of course, since I already have a Z1, it's now a waiting game for the Sony EX.

If you do decide to go from 25p to 24P, make sure you increase the pitch of your audio by 72 cents.

Stick with 25P acquisition if you also plan on showing it in Europe and other PAL territories.

I'm going to run the numbers on this:

500GB hard drive = $100,
1 MiniDV tape = $4

There is 13GB in one MiniDV tape, therefore (500GB / 13GB = 38.5) a 500GB HD holds roughly 38.5 tapes.
