Keven,

I made the change from Speed Razor a couple of years ago. It was a great system. Question: What are you doing with the old system? I have mine in storage but it takes up room. I can’t believe there’s a used market for the hardware or software. Maybe a donation?

Cheers, and welcome to FCP and the G5.

Jeremiah,

I have a very nice one. Old fashion but without scratches, dirt, etc. I’ve had it for years. Not sure where I got it. It might have been Ranked off a release print of mine years ago. It

Trevor and Matte,

Thanks. I knew you guys would know the answer. It always seems so simple, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to do it.

Have a nice weekend and Happy Veterans Day (if that is indeed possible–I mean a ‘happy’ one)Cheers,

Richard

Take care,

Noah,

No, the camera is fine. I was just saying that I find the viewfinder image a little on the weak side. I just find it hard to focus compared to the VX2000, or a Betacam or film camera. It just seems a little on the dark side with low resolution, making it, for me anyway, hard to do critical focus.

I come from a film background (still shoot 16mm for one client) and own a Sony VX2000. Bought my 100A a month or so ago. Love the look. Good little camera. My only caveat would be the view finder. Not as bright as I’d like and (in my opinion) a little hard to focus. I’ve lost a couple great shots because of out-of-focus problems–I’ll admitt that I wasn’t paying as much attention as I should and I like to shoot at 2.8 or 4 and I was on the end of the lens so I didn’t have much DOF.

I don’t think it’s me, I’ve been doing this for a very long time and never have had a problem with focusing–kind of filmmaking 101.

I turned on the focus assist thing and I’ll see if that helps.

Love the footage. What a great look.

Hello Berry,

Thanks, that’s what I thought just wasen’t sure. Ibought my DVX100a Tuesday. Your book and DVD were missing. The dealer had opened the case–and someone had ‘borrowed’ the book/dvd. Panasonic is mailing one to them (I hope). I’m looking forward to reading and watching.

I do have one question (which, I’m sure will be answered in you book/dvd, is ‘squeeze’ somewhat better then ‘letterbox’. in information per pixel? Knowing that anamorpic lens would be the best.

thanks for the info.

Cheers,

Richard
