Just saw this comment about the PMW-350 viewfinder clearance problem. The blog you mention is no longer available. Any chance you can email a pic?

I hear you saying that 1/120th second would be better than 1/100th for shots that involve artificial lighting. The test footage I shot was set to 720/30p at 60 fps at 1/120th shutter speed and it looked good on playback. My editor will do a test key Monday to see if this helps in getting cleaner edges on moving arms, etc. Thanks for your input. I’ll post those results.

Have you tried any sloMo when shooting green screen?

I’d love to fly to London. ($733 round trip) Been there twice on business and had a really good time. I even rented and drove a car in London. No easy task for a Yank. But the good news is I learned today that my contact in New York (Abel Cine Tech) convinced Sony to send a camera over this coming Tuesday. It means a 6 hour drive one way, but It’s worth it to get to the bottom of the this camera. If it looks good, I buy one. Thanks for your comments.

If someone in London wanted to demo the Sony PMW 500 today, is there a dealer that could make that happen? Too bad I don’t have any business in London, because I just checked, round trip to Heathrow is $733. When you consider the cost of renting an HD camera, one could make an argument that it would be worth it.

Ron,
Sounds good. Maybe I should explore the non zoom through version to get that price down. Are you satisfied with the quality? Last time I used one of these adapters was with a BVP5 head and Beta SP. Didn’t know if these lenses could make the HD jump. Thanks.

I’ll be purchasing an AF100 at the end of the week. I considered buying a Nano Flash, but decided to wait, as the native footage seems to be good enough for my corporate work. My biggest dilemma is deciding which Micro 4/3 lens to buy. I don’t like the PL mount lenses because they’re not designed for the smaller 4/3 sensor. (i.e. 50mm lenses become 100mm, etc) That being said, what lens(es) do you recommend? Abel Cine Tech has the AF100 packaged with two Olympus zooms (14-35mm and 35-100mm). That’s probably the way I’ll go, but would love to hear you thoughts.

Yes, sequence/render/full is turned on. And yes, I’m viewing on computer monitor as well as NTSC monitor. The 2 graphics I’m wiping between are TGAs with alpha channels. The BG is a motion graphic. I had this problem before. I was able to nest the graphics to the BG (a solid white) and do the transitions. The key here is Final Cut’s ability to do a key and a wipe simultaneously. Thanks.
