Re: Insurance

Re: Email Scam
I got something similar to that but it was through text message! Since I've never had anyone text me to get a quote I figured something was up. I sent over my rates and this person picked a...

Re: Biggest Challenge with DSLRs
We use Canon C100's with Dual Pixel AF and the push autofocus is extremely fast and accurate with EF lenses. Right now you can get one for $3500 which is a very good deal considering it's excellent...

Mic the bride?
I've never given much thought to putting a mic on the bride simply because it seems like it would be very intrusive to wire them up. However, I just saw this new device which got me thinking more...

Peter, I found a company called CrashPlan which will let you upload your data to their cloud and then they will mail you a 3.5TB drive in the case that you have an accident. Here's their website:

Re: High End Wedding Websites
Ian, it has been disappointing that both The Knot and WeddingWire aren't great options at this point. I'm also locked in for another six months or so with both of them. I've noticed that a lot of...

Re: High End Wedding Websites

Re: G3 for weddings?
The G3 system is great but I don't think it would be wise to use it 50-70 feet from the groom. I think some of the lectrosonics systems have longer range but they also cost a lot more. The new...

Re: now that NAB is done. (new camara)
If you're looking to replace the 5D2 with a 7D2 I don't think you'll really gain much except the autofocus and 1080p60. You will lose full frame and I don't think you will gain much (if any) low...

Re: Audio Drifting Out Of Sync
I think it would be a little tricky to see exactly how many frames each recorder has drifted unless you use an audio slate like clapping before and after each ceremony. I'm certain I would forget to...

Re: Price drop on C300
I agree with Nigel that the C100 is an amazing camera for weddings. It's a beast in low light, has built in NDs and XLR inputs, 12 stops of dynamic range, very user friendly, and the image is...
