Re: Delivery via Jump / Flash Drive Problems
Well, if it's possible for you to export as avi, that should be pretty universal. Maybe your TV can't handle mov.

Yes, that's very true! Also considerably more compact than a 28-300. Plus, the 1" sensor can become an advantage when you're at the tele end.
Incidentally, one thing people used to interchangeable...

Re: Basic green screen question

Re: What's a good budget wireless HDMI system?
