Re: new camera: Panasonic AG-HPX250

"In an industry so linked to style, you would think they would have done a better job of packaging."

Shallow as it sounds, i have to agree. This looks like a chubby consumer camcorder. The HVX...

re: HyperDeck Shuttle from Blackmagic Design

Excuse my ignorance, but i'm slightly baffled as to the point of this thing.

Re: anyone know where to find the XF100 in central london?

ASK has been selling higher end Canon camcorders for years.

If you can get to Hemel Hempstead Proactive have them in stock i think. Probably a little cheaper than TCR too. They will also courier...

the costs have come down a lot lately.

They have, but they are still overpriced for what they are IMO. The other issue is that many will want to record to AVC Intra at 100 mbs so even though the cards are getting cheaper, they still work...

Re: any card over 60MB/s is overkill, correct?

Actually the Lexar cards are reasonably priced. Both the x300 and x600 versions appear to be recommended. No mention of the X400 ones though.

I'm getting Deja Vu here, and thinking back to the days when we were encouraged to buy DV CAM tapes instead of cheap and cheerful DV tapes, and later on HDV tapes when normal ones worked just fine. I...

Re: HPX370 vs. HPX2000

Well it may be interesting, but i suspect that once all the bells and whistles are added on it will be way out of my price range. A mate of mine has a red, and even the "Red" CF cards cost several...

By the time the Red Scarlet turns up you may be too old to lift the thing. I'm so bored of hearing about this camera that was "on its way" years ago.

Re: I've only gone and lost my SD card with picture set up on it!

This is one of the reason's i prefer CF to SDHC cards. The latter are too small and are easy to lose.

Good points. There's a lot to be said for owning a camera, knowing how to get the best out of it, and knowing where everything is without having to think about it.

I think there is a great...

Re: How do I do low light filming with the XF300

Some are saying that this camera's 4:2:2 codec stands a good bit of post manipulation. It could be that if you shoot as bright as you can in the normal way, without too much gain, you can brighten it...
