A little, yes, but having that much gain is going to result in image degradation. You'd do far more for the integrity of the image by adding some light. 18dB is a huge amount of gain, and gain...

Well, I don't mean to be "rough", I'm just trying to lay out the facts. I know that you'd rather have a free 1080/60p upgrade, but -- it just isn't gonna happen.

First, nobody from Panasonic,...

B&H has done that same kind of thing for ages. It doesn't imply anything in specific. And as for 7-14 days, it may represent them as just being out of stock at this moment, or they may be limiting...

It is almost certainly related to high gain. What was the gain you had on that shot?

I don't think MicroP2 is going to be compatible with the HPX170. From what I remember, they said it would be compatible with any camera that currently supports AVC-Intra.

No, I don't think it will. I think MicroP2 will only work with cameras that support AVC-Intra. It will not work with an HVX or HPX170.

I would think it should. All the AVCCAM cameras (except the AC90) should be able to interchange batteries.

They will be similar, certainly... just not quite as similar as the AC130 would give, since the AC90 and AC130 are both full-raster CMOS chips from a comparable generation of technology. So those...

(If you don't see it, here's the relevant time spots to jump to: 00:13, 00:21, and 00:32.)

An example of why you ALWAYS need to be aware of what's in the background ... and shut the door, for cryin' out loud.

I would say you'll have an easier time matching an AC130A to an AC90, than you will matching an HMC150 to an AC90. You can get the color pretty close between the 150 and 90, but the overall texture...

There is not, and never will likely be, a full-res 1/3" CCD camera. All the manufacturers have shifted over to CMOS to get full-res chips at the smaller size. CCDs are now pretty much only offered...

Only if the operator changed the codec in the menus.

If they were recorded in an HPX170, they will all be DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, or DVCPRO-HD. Those are the only codecs the HPX170 supports.

If they were recorded in an HPX250, they could be any of...

The HPX250 can *record* a different codec than the HPX170 can. But as far as just formatting, they will format the same.

No problems.

Understand this -- it has NOTHING to do with the HPX170. The lens will project an image onto the adapter. The HPX170 just films that projected image. So whatever image the adapter is capable of,...

The answer is -- it all depends on the adapter. Some will allow "full frame". Some will allow "S35". Some won't. If you use an adapter that allows "full frame", then you will get exactly the same...

I already answered that, in post #2...

There's also a Panasonic external AVCHD recorder, the HMR10.

DOWN CONV means it is downconverting to standard def.

LIVE vs RECORDING makes no difference on the HDMI output. It only affects the headphone jack.

Well, yeah. The HPX170 by itself has a crop factor of 7.2, and a 13x lens range, which means it has a 35mm equivalent range of 28mm - 364mm. So using an 80-200 would nowhere near approach the...

The camera has nothing to do with it, the 35mm adapter will be what determines how much of the lens you will be able to see. Some of the adapters let you see the full size of the frame, some don't. ...

No, the 180 shutter already takes into account the different frame rates and adjusts itself automatically.

The AC90's built-in filter is not very strong. If you are shooting in bright daylight, and you want to maintain a reasonable shutter speed of 1/60 or so, you will need to add additional ND...
