I’m leaning heavily toward the HMC 150. I’m hoping that with my Mac’s quad processors and 18G RAM and performance video card that it won’t be a major factor. Where is your book available?

Hey Peter,
I am looking at the same two cameras, the HMC 150 and GY100. I posted an inquiry today and hadn’t noticed yours until after I posted. The missing drag & drop function for Final Cut is causing me the most hesitation.
Some of the reviews on the GY100 said that they had problems with adjusting the iris while recording, that it jumped between settings rather doing a smooth transition. Some complained of it’s very small size, and others liked the size because it was well-suited to going unnoticed while shooting gorilla and less intimidating on interviews.
I look forward to getting some feedback on the comparisons between these two $3,500 prosumer camcorders.

I’m buying a Panasonic AG-HMC150 video camera to shoot small documentaries, promotional and web videos, including the use of some green screen shooting. I have about $1500-$2000 to spend on a light kit and have been looking at Arri 3- and 4-light kits. The 4-light 300/650 fresnel is a bit out of my range, but the 300 fresnel / 600 Arrlite focus flood is within reach. Could I get some advise on the following?
1. I will use a softbox for my key lighting, will the fresnels be a waste of money, or will I see improved even-lighting as compared to the Arri 600 focus flood?
2. I wasn’t considering a Lowell kit before I read this string. Can you recommend a Lowell kit that would be comparable to Arri 300/650?
3. Will I be better off with fresnels in lighting the green-screen?
4. Any advise is choosing between the 3-light fresnel 650/300 or the 4-light 600 focus flood /300 fresnel?
