audio technica 100 series ..
before you buy any wireless .. look up in their frequency charts to see what frequency (channels) are free in your area ( and area’s you travel to) .. 58-60 .. 67-69 -
” Will producers shell out the Varicam rates when the HVX will “do, roughly but not exactly the same thing”
Producers that normaly would rent the Varicam NO they will not shoot their project on HVX 200 because “roughly “isn”t good enough for their projects .. the codec may be the same BUT 1/3″ CCD’s just don’t give you teh same image as 2/3 ” CCD’s … they are paying for quality…
the DVX uses the same codec as 2/3 DV25 camera’s and it has a very nice image BUT it didn’t away with 2/3″ camera’s .. most of the camerpersons i know make their living with 2/3 camera’s ( most carry a hand size camera for B roll) … the HVX is aimed at those that can’t afford a 20K + camera .. it’s for persons that bought the DVX, XL2 etc to move up to HD at a affordable entry price .. bottom line IMO 90% of those that buy the HVX 200 ( or HDV) are buying it because of the PRICE .. if they had the choice to shoot varicam or HVX ( for same rental price) IMO 90% would go varicam .. for myself i prefer handsize camera ( i’ll give up some quality for the size- and YES once the HVX becomes available i have my CC ready ) … but if i want/need the extra quality i’d rent Varicam or shoot film ..

“IMHO I think that people will lean to this camera over the Varicam ”
the varicam is aimed at a different market .. the persons buying the HVX couldn’t buy a HD lens !! .. by the time you set up a varicam you got 75-100K spent !! varicam owners may look to the HVX as a B camera for tight shots where they can’t get their varicam and shots where their varicam could get damaged …
also i would say 90% of HVX buyers would NEVER rent a varicam (some might think about it but to lay out 800-1200 day = no way )… just like any hand size camera you get the biggest BANG for you $$$$ …

i don’t really care of panasonic approves them or not – how many times have you installed software that didn’t have microsofts seal of approval ?? reverse engineering has been around for years and it WORKS …

may be dub houses ? or some post houses will have a transfer service from external hard drive to dvcpoHD tape ??
it may not work for production but it is needed in post for archives/backup ..
i know TODAY you can have your HD transferred to HDCAM or D5 tape from external hard drives so perhaps dvcproHD is not too far down the line = it all comes down to requesting the service so places knew there is a demand .. i do see dvcproHD is starting to show up at film telecine houses and so is HDV … -
NR should take care of it .. if the buzz volume changes then that makes it difficult with NR … is it a low , mid , or hi frequency buzz ??? without hearing it don’t know where to tell you to start .. if you can provide a sample to download might be able to provide more info ??? if you do put up a sample make sure there is at least 1-2 sec of the buzz without voice (or main audio subject) in sample ..

DV has 4:1:1 color space .. DVCpro 50 has 4:2:2 color space ( 2x ) ..
but it all comes down to the project .. your dv image will improve if you use a camera with 2/3″ CCD’s .. chroma keying, rotoscoping i smuch easier working in 4:2:2 color space … DVCpro50 isn’t the only 4:2:2 format …look at photo’s at link – DVCpro is probably between digibeta and digital S … dsr 130 is either 1/2 or 2/3 chip ?

the dell is only for previewing the HDV ? you don’t use it to edit V TL ?use graphic DVI out to DVI in connection on monitor ?

the GL2 is OK .. and you could do low budget commericals with it (local cable or small tv channels ).. and you could even shoot a feature etc BUT IMO start thinking of a different camera .. you might consider renting camera’s as it should be the project that decides which camera format and not you have a GL2 so you shoot with it on every spot.
