I have the 207 as well and have done 6 flights so far with no problems. Its big when fully loaded but it is great. Its a great, supportive backpack too, and saves my back compared with my old Porta...

Mike,
My cam had/has that problem. I read of others who had that problem and it was fixed at the Sony Service Centers. Mine went in and they neglected to fix it (but they fixed the BF problem and...

Mine broke, but yes, in a stupid, violent environment. I "fixed" it with glue and zip ties and that has worked fine. Sony charges 80 bucks for a replacement, so I will probably do some type of...

If you want short look at the Sanken CS-1. I opted for the longer CS-3e though which will work better on a boom, but the CS-1 is very short and likely a good option.

2 EX-1s and an EX-3 with a longer lens would probably be the best option, although requires waiting a bit.

I have the Intensity Pro with a MacPro and FCP and it works more or less as it should. I may get the MXO2 though if that is all it seems to be. But the Intensity is a lower cost option that takes...

That must be incorrect data. A 16gb card holds approx. 1 hour in HQ whether its Sony/Sandisk/etc.

I agree although I think the EX-1 design will only allow filters to be inserted sideways due to the end of lens and the placement of the LCD/mic.

That Arri looks nice, although I would guess it'll...

I think with any of the adapters its hard to rate the sensitivity for the purpose of metering, because you have two apertures in play. If you had the EX-1 iris set and did not change it you could...

I think you may NEED the flip. I haven't tried mine without the flip but I believe you would need a ton of spacers to use it without the flip. Works with the flip though.

A letus or similar adapter is VERY different than a EX-3 with interchangeable lenses. If I went for the EX-3 I'd still need my adapter (a Brevis) to achieve the shallow DOF of 35mm lenses. ...

Phil, why are you awake and blogging at 5:30AM? I would expect you to still be cuddling up to some Vegas dancer, or coming off a 10 hour stint at the poker tables.

Sheesh!

Maybe if you shoot in SP/HDV mode you could monitor through firewire, but even then there would likely be a delay. In HQ mode I am not sure that would be possible as there is no monitor in on the...

The battery issue I believe is across all EX-1s so don't try to send it to Sony to get fixed. Its annoying I guess, but not really a big deal considering. A firmware update may possibly fix it but...

I believe they need a copy of the sales receipt, as well as the actual UPC from the EX-1 box.

I am sending my cam in to Sony today to have them fix the backfocus (and zoom toggle). Wish me luck.

I haven't noticed any issues below F8. I know at 11 or 16 I have seen it become junk, which is not uncommon for most lenses. I think most lenses are optimized to be sharpest in the F4-F8 range.
