It’s more or less very similar to the 900 only with P2 instead of tape.

I hear ya on the M2- even the folks at Panasonic hear ya(or so I like to think). But this is a completely new ballgame. You’ll be impressed I think.

Yep- welcome to the wonderful world of electronics. There’s always faster, quicker and cheaper right around the corner. Question is, what will be ready for your shoot today?

Sounds like 50hz lighting. Unfortunately there is not much you can do as this is something that needs to be addressed during production. Once it’s shot it’s pretty much ‘baked in.’ A 25p DVX100 shooting to PAL most likely would have been the way to go here.

It would look outstanding for broadcasting assuming of course good lighting, production design etc.
Not sure if you are understanding the 30p vs. 24p concept though. 24p is the more film looking format- it closely emulates film which runs at 24 frames per second- hence 24p. The camera then adds a 3:2 pulldown to derive a standard 29.97 NTSC signal that can be played on any TV and edited in any DV-capable NLE such as your M100. This is based on the telecine process used when real 35mm film is transferred to video.
30p is another format altogether which basically shoots at 30 frames progressive frames per second. The result is also a 29.97 video but with a much different aesthetic quality. Personally I dislike it as it looks like high speed shutter video to me rather than nice film. I’d recommend sticking with 24p. Once you have the camera you’ll understand a lot better how it all works.
As for the 16:9, that is definitely an option on the 100A. It really comes down to what suits the story best- a ‘widescreen’ look or the standard, square 4:3 picture. You may also wish to check with the broadcaster for their aspect ratio requirements as this is often an ongoing issue.

Those look tasty indeed but they’re vaporware until the end of 2006.

I’d suggest shooting some tests right away. Either it was a mistake made during production or the camera requires repair. Obviously this is not normal camera operation.

Toggle the white balance preset switch- make sure it’s on ATW. I always recommend manual anyway unless you’re in complete run and gun mode.

Most likely. A 256MB video card should be considered a requirement for Motion IMHO.

Like on a DVD-R? No that is applied during replication.
