Sherri:

Seems like, given that the camera "chose" to focus on the background at certain points, it would be better to lock the focus on the subject in manual mode. With 1/4" chips, you'll have...

Not if you are talking apples to apples--considering that the EX3 comes with a fast zoom lens, HD-SDI output capability, an onboard monitor/viewfinder, and is handholdable out of the box (this last...

I too read Simon's article but I took a different tack with it. Looks to me like he was railing against the "test videos" specifically rather than the actual technology of the cameras and...

I think a better solution will be to use an LCD such as the 5" forthcoming from Small HD or Marshall with a viewfinder cover that swings away or removes to turn it into an onboard. I've been using a...

Sounds like you will end up with a 7 lb+ camera, and you don't want to be using a handheld stabilizer with that. You'll need to start looking at rigs with vests and arms.

It's not just removing the data (which is as little as the record light and the focus box), it's about the limited output on the monitor. The camera's processor is being taxed mightily to do what its...

I opted to get the 100mm macro with my set, reasoning that if I'm looking to go macro, chances are I'm going to want maximum magnification. That said, the normal 50mm is substantially shorter than...

Yes, I think it's a great new tool and has a lot of potential. It won't be a full-time device, more like a specialty item that you use when you need it. It is designed as an accessory that you mount...

I hadn't heard that the X22 arm had been revised. I'll check it out at NAB. I do feel, however, that the gimbals on the smaller GC's have always left a lot to be desired.
