"You Can Use Cheap Lenses! I get better results on full-frame with crummy lenses than I do with my very best lenses on DX. Having bigger pixels on a larger format means you can use cheaper lenses and usually get better results than the best lenses on a smaller format. The only reason I use the weasel word of "usually" is because as of 2007 we're only talking about a 1.6x linear format difference among consumer (under $9,000) DSLRs. In film, with a 2x linear difference from one format to the next, the crappiest lens on the next bigger format always smokes the very best lens on the next smaller format." The Full-Frame Advantage |
VG 20 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
I got a call from a customer who wants me to record her speech presentation. I currently have a Panasonic GH1.
I know on the HDSLR you really can't follow the presenter. I'd like to know if this is a good camera to follow the speaker on stage. I just want to make sure that if a presenter decides to move around, I can follow her without constantly re-focusing the lens. The stage is small and I'm having lighting for this. Any thoughts? |

Then you need to close down your iris as much as possible to increase the depth of field, or use a small sensor handicam.

I don't have that camera so can't give you teh right advise, important is that there is the possibility to lock the iris so you can control you dof. I"m guessing this camera will automatically crank up the iso to compensate, not sure how noisy the footage will become depending on how much light you have on stage.

Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
Cineform is a product now bought out by GoPro, and has both free version and purchase versions. I use the paid version for higher capabilities, but even with the in camera codec you can use Cineform free Studio Version. CineForm Studio: Software Download.
Pull down is simply a treatment given to 24p footage to make it compatible with 60i only codecs. ACVHD original codec was only 60i but recent changes may eliminate that problem. However the HDMI out of most cameras has pulldown inserted for it to play properly on TV. The HDMI signal is also standard 60i, though that may have changed, depending on the device. The Shuttle only has HDMI out, with HDMI signals that have pull down inserted, even for cameras set at 24p. Thus, for efficient editing, I remove pulldown in conversion with Cineform. |

Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
So do the new camcorders VG20, VG30, have to have the pulldown removed? All I know is that I want the best looking video, not to crazy about film look, very sharp, smooth looking pans both horizontal and vertical, and as high as MBPS as possible so as to be able to make changes in post, with out a lot of problems.
I love the way the video looks on the JVC GYHM600, not sure how it was shot. Is it a big deal not having AVCHD in 1080P @60P? What I loved about the JVC Cam is how incredible it looked even under Vimeos compression. Is there a big difference between 1080p @ 30fps and 1280x720P @ 60P? I shoot a little of everything right now. My client base is small business where most of the video winds up on the Net. and a few being on DVD's and maybe some cable commercials, No broadcast. Don't mean to hijack this thread, trying to learn and see if the VG30 is what I should get or a 3 chip cam like the GYHM-600. It's getting real hard figuring out what to get, I'm also really thinking about the new Panny GH3. Just not sure about the small sensor, GeeeeeZe its hard to figure. |
Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
No, pull down is added to the HDMI signal to make it HDMI compliant. That is standard practice for most cameras with HDMI out. Shuttle is an HDMI recorder, thus records 24p material with pull down added to make it compliant.

Re: VG 30 & Power Zoom 18-200 mm
Just thought I'd mention that I've had the VG30 for a few days now and am very happy with it. As a reference point, I've been using the VG20 and had been happy with that too.
However the OLED VF is a huge improvement IMO. It's something that should be implemented on every camcorder as far as I'm concerned. You become far more involved in the shooting 'experience' and less a 'bystander' to the action. You can also gauge both focus (without assist) and color better than a traditional VF. The zoom lens and rocker is a nice addition, but one note here. Some of you may have read that the VG30/900 incorporates a 'lossless' 2X conversion. It doesn't. Although it is much better than some digital doublers I've seen, you can see some degree of loss. It is a nice addition though and with caution it can be used effectively. Having the ability to use fixed focal length lenses and make a psuedo zoom out of them, is very nice. The addition of a far better suite of color controls is welcome. Having a dedicated WB button and the ability to change color in different channels as well as a direct access to color temperature, is a nice improvement over the VG20 too. But alas, no means of controlling saturation, contrast etc. I don't find the preset profiles to be very interesting (toy etc.) As for PQ, there isn't really a significant change. I do notice that WB is much better in auto when shooting indoors. You tend not to get that traditional oversaturation that's so common under those conditions. Of course MWB is always there, but if you're really doing a run n gun, it's nice that auto works somewhat better. Haven't really done much shooting with it yet, but I do think it's a worthwhile change from the VG20. |
