New HPX300 can’t get footage off P2 with MacPro (new user) waiting for DVD from Noah

[Martin Jordan]

Well I haven’t had the chance yet to put it through the rigors yet. I’m just now trying to get the whole P2 thing down.

But from what test I’ve shoot so far great.

Keep the camera in the 5.6 range & use ND filters if need be and you’ll be fine. Go to a fireworks display you probably won’t.

When you mentioned
I understand there was a wrong factory setting in pedestle. (was set at +15 and should have been 0) that when corrected makes for a much lower noise factor…

What exactly is this setting you’re talking about? Is this an adjustment in the menu or what? I haven’t heard that yet.

OH, yeah the EX1.

Yep, I’ve seen it and handled it. Don’t like it. It’s to plasticy for me. I hate the Sony customer support and it doesn’t look, feel, sit or operate like the 300. And everything they do is so propietary.

I have spent over a month studing my choices including going to NAB.

The 300 also allows me to invest if I want to in 2/3 glass with an adapter now, and when I eventually upgrade to a 2/3 camera those lenses won’t become paperweights. All that Fujinon & Canon lenses will just keep on working. The main decision anyone has to make I think is…what family do you want to marry into. I chose the Panny family.
