[Michael Brennan] “Focus will be your big issue.”
i have to agree – hd focus (especially with long angles) is 35mm level work. especially those fast moving animals which tend to change directions are pretty hard to keep focussed.
[Michael Brennan] “730 has only one filter wheel which is a bit of a drawback for the sunny climates.”
big drawback also for depth of field – its enjoyable to have two ND filters in front and behind the optics.

Even better – the colorviewfinder HDVFC 30 is the part no. i think but i am not sure if its working on the 730s.
[Artimus] “If you feel one has to take them along– would you explain why?”
a) shooting with several cameras – alignement.
b) live broadcast
c) colorcorrection on set (which isn -

[Ty Ford] “I was on a studio shoot the last two days and was pretty amazed at how loud the whine was from the Sony HD camera.”
The old 900 cameras can be quite noisy. The newer 750 is completly silent – was one of the reasons why we didn
