on the encodes online, i saw some flickering in the really high highlight sections of the Death Valley video once between 2:38-2:39, and again between 3:50 and 3:55. Is this anything that you've seen from the camera or some weird encoding issue?

Sorry if this has been asked already, and thanks for the any feedback you can give.

Dave

looks like that is some weird encoding issue, not there on my original.

My last short in Tokyo is up http://www.philipbloom.co.uk/Philip_..._in_Tokyo.html

half shot on Ultimate, half on Extreme to see how well they compared. Some shots were without any adaptor...

info on my blog with pics about how it was shot...

A great piece Phil.

In case I didn't let you know in Tokyo Phil. I think you are an absolute craftsman. Such great work. Respect.

So good that I can even forgive you for spelling my name wrong in the end credits!

Phil Bloom May 5th, 2008 03:03 AM

might be easier if you change your spelling for me?

Alexander Kubalsky May 5th, 2008 03:23 AM

no thanks. It took me long enough to learn to spell it the right way.

Phil Bloom May 5th, 2008 03:28 AM

see my problem. but now thousands of people think you are kubaklsy might be best for you in your film career.

Alexander Kubalsky May 5th, 2008 04:35 AM

well first you'll have to decide on which of your -NOW TWO! spelling mistake to go with, kubalksy or kubaklsy?

Phil Bloom May 5th, 2008 04:45 AM

they all look fine to me mr klubaksy.

will change the credits when i get a chance

my ex1 has gone off to Sony in Paris to be fixed.

The LCD just died, it was intermittent for a few hours then packed in, anyone else come across this?

Whilst there it is getting most of the body replaced as the paint has come off, which i am assured is now fixed, also the handle has become loose, the screw doing nothing to tighten it.

Hope it comes back soon! At least I have my original one which also needs to go in for the paint, got a nice new Letus Ultimate Prototype Mark 2 to try out on it this weekend!

This is a disturbing development. Really makes me suspicious of Sony's QC. These cameras seem to be all over the map as far as build quality is concerned. Here's to hoping mine's not a lemon as well. So far so good (fingers crossed).

Phil Bloom May 9th, 2008 02:02 PM

it is hopefully a one off. My other one has done about 180 hours and has no problems

David Elkins May 9th, 2008 02:05 PM

Was this camera the first one you got, therefore a very early production model?
