Just spent an hour and a half trying to get this evolution kit working with the H4. It's driving me nuts. Every time i try to switch on phantom power the zoom cuts out and restarts. Any ideas?

OK. I have the zoom H4 (not the N version). I'm shooting on a 5dmkii in the Middle East next month and wish to travel as lightly as possible. I have previously shot interviews through my evolution...

So the only way to record interviews with the Zoom is to use the onboard mics and keep it out of shot?

This works well but means i'll need to carry an extra tripod (or stand) which i was not...

why buy the inferior XL/XH series when the XF line offers so much more, at around the

Glen,

The XHA1 is half the price of the XF300 here in the UK, and is significantly smaller than the new camera, so i'm not sure this is a good comparison at present.

I saw the 2 cameras next...

Thanks Richard. It's the standard one that came with my Sennheiser Evolution radio mic kit with a mini jack on the end.

Why would someone do that, shoot at 35mbs - just to save a little data on the CF Card

Perhaps if you were cutting it with an EX1 and wanted to keep everything the same?

Personally, id never dream of shooting anything other than 50, since that is one of the chief things you're...

Excellent myth-busting posts. And long overdue.

Nigel

No doubt the resolution is "not as good as i think", but with the L - glass it looks like a very expensive set up to me, and other's i've shown it to. That's more than good enough for me.

Thanks for the review Alister. I was surprised to see the EX1 win over the Canon for ergonomics. Compared to my xha1 i found the EX1 awkward, though i've not tried the new model. Also it's...

The HPX300 would be the real challenger here.

Not much info about your needs, but here's my 2 cents.

The Panasonic camera's have a very pleasing "look" if that's what you want. They are not going to be as sharp as the EX1 or Xf...
