Below has a ton of some admitedly crappy underwater CG work but it’s a good reference.

Try a different brand of media- I’d suggest HP or Maxell.

Same- no. The Varicam has much better CCDs and much better lenses so it’s unrealistic to expect the same quality. It will be in the ballpark though.

What’s the bank?

I see your point. Perhaps you could also nudge JVC to hand out their HDV 720p 24p codec, because those .m2t files are quite a pain going cross-platform. And why hasn’t Sony provided open access to HDCAM? Come to think of it, Sony hasn’t allowed native HDCAM on anything outside of their own pricey XPRI system. Not exactly Epsonian behavior there.

On the Pal version of the camera- yes.

Hi Gavin-
I don’t quite follow your train of thought there. You acknowlege Adobe and Sony are the obstacles to their own NLEs working natively with the HVX200 and then you conclude buyers will blame Panasonic for this? I suspect it will be the opposite.
The Varicam has worked for years with Avid and now FCP and there seems to be little backlash over this. And up until last year’s FCP HD there was no such thing as native Firewire support of DVCPROHD. So suddenly expecting it across the board now is a little unrealistic. FCP and Avid support the DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD codecs because they chose to work with Panasonic rather than ignoring their customers requests. Adobe has also started to support the DVX100 and work with Panasonic so while it may take them a while- I suspect they will eventually support DVCPROHD and DVCPRO50.
And don’t forget for those who insist on working with Vegas there will be always be workarounds- such as capturing uncompressed or via SDI or dubbing to another format. So to say there is no way of getting the footage into unsupporting NLEs like Vegas is not the whole picture. There is no ‘simple as Firewire over DV’ way as of this moment but that’s the responsibility of the NLE companies, not Panasonic.
The only way to change this is to let Sony and Adobe know what you want. It finally worked with Sony as they begrudgingly added support for the DVX100 to Vegas after overwhelming customer demand. They can’t listen if nothing’s being said to them…

Send a letter to Sony and to Adobe- it is up to them to support DVCPRO50.

Yes shutter speeds can be always be adjusted. Cine Gamma affects the tonal range of the image- has nothing to do with shutter speed.

There should be an image well in the properties of the 3D filter for the back face image.
