R/Brey,

I don't wanna write anything vulgar to displease the mods or anyone, but you are always jacking off. waheheheh LOL

Instead, why not join Hilbert's production? Perhaps Sheldon's cam cam be used cos mine's acting funny...... it's kind of a Milos Forman type revenge movie.. murag AMADEUS...

So this won't go so off topic,

unsa pa gani to ang cam ni Sheldon, Land?

Thanks!

sheldon has a low end JVC i think. never liked that cam, pareha kay tampus. btw, i'm trying to get him to convince his mother into buying him a dvx100a since he gets his goodies directly from japan, the price difference can be huge. now i can really feel the dvx. hehehe

Mao, na OT ta kadali, na intrigue lang ko sa technique on night shots..
Pero last OT comment... I didn't mean about blurry because out of focus, but blury kay the object/person moved right after the shot was made, and surely it's because i set the shutter speed to a long one to capture some light. I was wondering if using the Leica lens, i don't need the long shutters settings or exposure..Btw, i sometimes don't use flash on night shots because i like the ambiant of a pure night light.

Back to topic... I saw some magazines on digital films, and i noticed most featured cams there were Sony's and Panasonic's. Does this mean Canon is not likely the choice of film makers? So what's the ranking then?
Panasonic - Sony -.... Just askin...

I tried the Canon handycams, and UI'm not always too happy with the end result. Ieven the huge Canon XL2 is such a pain to carry....but it looks cooll though.

[onin111]

I see.. Well yah, Canon's physical design is kinda different with the other's... catchy..

most likely, setting the camera to a faster shutter speed will solve the blur problem, but if you want the exposure to be just right then you'll have to have a wide aperture too. so handling the lens properly is a must too. hand vibration might be another problem. pareha to onin111, i dislike those flash systems, they make the shots look so unnatural. theres like a beaming white light suddenly in your pic, its so obvious. but then, you can't blame those photographers since only a few people can really afford lenses like the noctilux @ f/1 or summilux @ f/1.4.

the battle on prosumer camcorders is pretty tight nowadays. i dont know whats really in the indie filmmakers wishlist but at the forefront theres panasonic, sony, jvc and canon. although with the success of the panasonic dvx100, panasonic established a very solid reputation on the market that they never had before.

here's another one, can't get enough of these night shots. heehhe

That's a good one... I see the wide aperture in this pic, hhhmm... So maybe this can be achieved by fast shutter, and longer exposure on non Lieca lenses? Will try..

Here's a review on sony's prosumer 3CCD camcorder products....

I guess some people hate sony and their marketing/sales strategy...

I still have to check on Panasonic.

With Canon's XL H1, i think it's quite good and the newest in the market...

[r/brey]

for the latest gen cameras, Panasonic has the HVX200(as i posted), Canon has XL-H1(as you posted), Sony has two i think, i can only remember the Z1 and then theres JVC with the HD100u.

the JVC is unique, and i think the most expensive of the bunch. its a shoulder mount camera. boasts interchangeable lens. but i've read some manufacturing problems out of the box. some dead pixels and some whatnots that shouldn't be in an almost $9000 camera.

there are specific forums for every camera. very cool.
