Hi Guys,

Thanks for the input so far.

We will be going for a whole host of lumix and other primes for this camera when we buy it; but the reps only brought one lens and the body (we did ask for more) so It’s all we had to test with, and we did not have long at all.

The greenscreen was lit, albeit not to the level that we would usually light it (not all the lights were available at the time), but as Rafael pointed out: the fringes are not just against the backdrop – you can see them within the talent. We’re quite used to shooting on this Cove now and you will notice that there is very little spill on the talent. We would usually spend a lot longer setting up though to be fair.

Thanks for the link to the dvx site; that’s been helpful as it seems they are not having the same fringe issues as we had; suggesting it could be something which is not inerrant to the camera / sensor.

We’ve put the purchase on hold while we contact the rep’s and ask them to come back with something that better resembles the kind of kit that we will be buying (nanoflash, primes and so on) It’s nice to see that people are getting genuinely impressive results on keyed footage with this camera though!
