Hi Mike,
I don’t think it is a fair assesment at all, the HDV cameras are not in the same league as far as features and are roughly equivalent in resolution. I shoot the hvx with an M2 adapter and I don’t think anything comes close to that combination if you are looking for a film look unless you spend $75K or more ! For me it works for you it may not; don’t take anyones word for it…check it out yourself.

Dude ! you own a varicam !! twest them !

totally different cameras; both capable of beautiful pictures but for me the hvx is far superior. Rent them and see what works for your needs.

If you have the storage and the work flow I would go 1080. But the only way ro really know is to do a test of each through to film out and compare.

Hi Mike, I’ve had the same experience with FCP 5.1..EVERYONE says just select the box on import but it does not work. What does work is select a clip in your timeline and then pull down tools and select “cinema tools reverse telecine”. This is really easy and works perfectly; apple really needs better documentation on this because I’ve checked around everywhere and no one has been able to tell me how to do it. I found it by sweat and tears.

I’ve been editing 1080pa footage in FCP 5.1 and it looks great but It converts it to 29.97 wth a pull down. Looks like telecined film.

Barry,
Isn’t that what I said ?” I always make my FUTURE purchasing plans on what I expect to be available in the future and adjust accordingly when the future arrives.”

So i guess that would make me dishonest and unrealistic. I always make my FUTURE purchasing plans on what I expect to be available in the future and adjust accordingly when the future arrives. So my plan stands; I use the heck out of my HVX for a year and then buy Red Or SI or whatever the guys with the “track Record ” come up with in response to what the guys with no “track record” deliver or don’t deliver. In case you didn’t notice, SI is an exsisting camera right now . All those big companies that you mention with the ” track record “, are going to have to revise their marketing plans.

Wow.. a bit condesending. With the team that is behind red I would say it’s delivery is a near certainty and within a year. If not, there will be others. Kinetta didn’t happen but SI did.
