Hi Chris,

I think that the 250 might not be able to take nikon lens, I’m not shure, but I don’t know any adapter that might be stucked to the front of the 250 lens, if this is the case, you will only be able to use the camera 22x lens.

For me in the field, the 250 will be easy to use, cause is smaller and weigths less, but for more reah will need the 370, nikon lens and adapter, overal costs will be much higher, thats why I realy don’t if I should pic up the 250 or the 370…

Hi Chris,

I’m not shure if I understand your question, but in the hpx370 you just have to remove the stock lens, put the adapter and them put the nikon lens.

Thanks Michael,

I don´t need a shoulder camera cause I will ude it mainly on a tripod, but I saw a video on you tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mIu1wamer4) of a sigma 70-400mm mounted on a HPX370 and the quality wasn´t bad, not as good as the fujinon 17x, but not bad for a youtube compressed video, and the sigma 70-200mm is not as sharp as the nikon 70-200mm.

I only intend to use the nikon 70-200mm in situations where I realy need more reach, in other cases will use the stock lens.

Can someone tell me how is the quality of both lens at full zomm?

If buy the 250 will save at least 2000€, but I’m affraid that even the 22X reach of the 250 will not be enought in some situations for aquatic birds that I have to film…

Hi Jim,

Also have the chance to buy a RED ONE too, probably the best option for me right now…

Thanks Peter,

Yes, I mean pre order now and after a fs700…

I also have another solution, that is buy a PMW-EX3 with a sigma 120-300mm and nanoflash, It´s a solutions that many wildlife filmographer have, so I think the the quality must be good. No slow motion, no 13 stops dinamique range, but best reach for shy species, 1/2″, at 120mm the sigma becomes a 600mm f/2.8, at 300mm a 1500mm f/3.8, if I put a 1.4x TC even more mm…I just dont know the quality with this combo…

Does anyone ever tried a PMW-EX3 with telephoto lens? Are the images sharp and with good quality???

Thanks again

Hi Peter,

I´m selling all my photo gerar to buy the video equipemnt, so it could take a wille…So don´t mind to receave it only in February if the camera meets my needs.

I would have to limitations with BMCC, first, the LCD, in the hide would be fine, outside would need an EVF, the other is that with a 120-300mm, would need a 105mm vari ND filter on the fronts of the lens, and would have to make a hole in the front of the sun cap to rotate it when needed without the need to remove the front…

But the price compared with the fs700 is considerable, with the savings, would be able to buy rig, motorized doli, crane, wide lens and a macro one.

With the FS700 would win 240fps that is wonderfull, my first project will be about an aquatic lizard in my region, so would be wundefull to capture him entering in the water in 240fps…

Dont know what to do, cause with fs700 the budget will go away and will not have money for other lens other acessories…

Maybe I can buy the BMCC now and wait to will some cash in some projects and after buy the fs700 as backup…

Cheers

Thanks Sareesh,

I didn´t choose the FS100 cause it doesn’t habe build in ND filter, I prefer to have in the camera. Like I saide, only have experience in photography, but inside a hide we can´t get easiy to the front of the lens, and is difficult to put a ND in a big lens.

About the BMCC, I don´t think she will need an external recorder, I think will be able of 422 with broadcast quality.

The HPX250 with can output 422 100mbs, it was already approved by BBC for broadcast, and think the JVC and the sony will be next…

Thanks Sareesh and Todd,

In fact the C300 is out of my budget, but I have considered the GH3 as backup for option 1 and 3, will even be capable of letting the camera In some spots and shoot video throw an iPhone, but will need a broadcast camera for everyday use.

No more suggestions?

Thanks and regards
