    I REALLY suggest the Apple Laptop's. I would also wait a couple weeks if you can till NAB so you can see what new lappys come out.

    Best camera for an aspiring filmmaker

    Good luck finding an editing suite to accomindate that on a consumer market. I know you are only joking, but most people on here dont have adequate knowledge of cameras. So let me explain 2k and 4k. RED is a camera that is NOT for the consumer, and only for high end Prosumers. After you get...

    Best camera for an aspiring filmmaker

    Firestore=BAD. I hear and see so many problems with it. I think that a good approach is if you need it for a PAYING JOB, THEN GET IT!! If you need something longer than P2 has to offer, just shoot into your computer. Happends all the time in Los Angeles. Too many of these sisy people...

    You can record MiniDv, You can not record HD100(DVCProHD) to tape. Actually doesnt suck. The quality of DVCPRO100(HD) has a higher recording BitRate that the tape can records. BUT no need for tape when you GET A FREE 8gig P2card. Also if want longer recoring times, CinePorter will be out in 4...

    I think you are forgetting the value of investment, vs hobbyist. I owned 2 XL1s out of High School.. Did 10 or shorts and some video gigs which paid them off. I would also be VERY careful about talking about prices when you dont know what they are. Camera $5,299 +FREE HVX Guide Book + FREE...

    questions about cameras for action sports

    I shot this a test, only took about 15mins. HVX is defiantly for sports specially at 60fps. I did not put much effort into it, it is just to show ya

    Review of my Zacuto camera accessory

    I thought I would do a review on some Zacuto products I own. Universal BasePlate, two pair 7" rods, one pair 12" rods. shoulder mount, and two MiniMounts, and battery plate. My first impression when opening the box was all "ooohs and ahhhs." Eye poppin' red and brushed aluminum just made me...

    Camera WiTh High Speed Option For Music Video

    No shutter speed in fraction, but in Degrees is 250degrees......Iris level again is 1.7 . .... 0 Gain. Shutter speed is the HVX, is Digital. No color correction done to the video either. And pan and tilting is just timing. I guess I am just getting good at it.

    Camera WiTh High Speed Option For Music Video

    thanks, Ya that was at a 1.7 aperture, and shutter was 350d, Which is shutter degrees means that 350degree is open to light. You can dial from 1degree to 350 in .5 increments. With the HVX you can choose Fractional or Degree shutter.

    Camera WiTh High Speed Option For Music Video

    Cameras arent better or wrose than Each other, AS FAR AS mechanical goes. BUT as for codecs that is a deal breaker with me. HDV Sucks. So much so Sony and Canon are Xing it. With teh HVX you get DVCPro50 for the best SD work you'll ever see. TRUE PROGRESSIVE and Variable frame rates from...

    Camera WiTh High Speed Option For Music Video

    As my post say, "Wanna see some footage of what you can do with a 2fps at 350d?" Nothing to do with Twixtor. Twixtor is an AE plugin. 2fps at 350d is what the HVX can shoot.
