Ours is OK. I tested the image on our 9″ Sony HD field monitor in underscan. I heard they were sending all of the bad ones to Vientiane/Lao PDR. So, I wouldn’t worry if I were you.
Just kidding. You’ll be fine.

[Matt Capocci] “Why can’t companies just say how much they are willing to spend.”
Here in Phoenix, it’s common to list a spread of “$xxx to $xxx” depending on experience. They need to see your level of creativity, smoothness, ability to work without supervision among other things. They also need to make sure that you send everything out with correct spelling.

1. “Forever and into perpetuity”
2. If it sells a lot, monthly. Sparse sales-quarterly.

[Philip Johnston] “Does the Cow allow one to mention kit or manufacturers other than the ones who advertise on this page ?”
The COW does not censor the posts except for the usual things that aren’t nice. Go for it!

[tofutodd] ” seems like it would make for really bad handheld work”
Contrary to that, the rotating function of the grip more than makes up for the fact that the grip itself is off center by an additional inch and a half, or so. After all, who actually shoots hand held with one hand? I found it to be exceptionally steady because of the additional weight. I do an enormous amount of handheld and it’s hold with the right hand and steady with the left. You’re not holding it in the same position as a shoulder mount camera, are you? It’s not a Handycam. It’s a serious contender.

Phillip,
i’ve been trying to figure out what you mean by “No Holes Barred”. Is that a play on words for the wrestling term “No Holds Barred”?Steve Wargo

You left something out: Turn on the “direct menu”.
Since I got my EX-1, I’ve loaned it out to a dozen people and I haven’t been able to go through the manual thoroughly. I had seen the Direct Menu thing but didn’t investigate what it really was. Thanks for the info. It makes a huge difference.
And as for the posts, they would be a little more creative but Ron threw me off the COW a few years ago and I had to promise to be a good boy and bite my tongue (or my fingertips) or I couldn’t come back to play. This is, by far, the best forum on the web. It’s easy to navigate and has some of the best of the best both at the top of the page and throughout the entire barn yard.
I was in Maui in July ’07 on a job and my wife and I spent our honeymoon also in Maui in 2000 on Memorial Day and we visited Pearl Harbor. It brought a lot of things to life for me. I had studied Pearl harbor for years.

Mahalo Ken,
Can you give us a bit more details on this? This is the first I’ve heard of it.
Anybody else?

Did you notice that there is no indication that the camera is powered up except for the light above the card slot. I have killed my only battery several times by not noticing that the power is on when I set it down.
Also, why in the world is the HD-SDI a 3-2 pulldown signal only? We shoot with an F-900 and wanted to co mingle foorage but this makes it difficult to do so.
