Is it the camera or the man behind the camera?

    The DVC30 has a pretty good fake-24p mode. It won't satisfy a DVX fan, but it'll make your average audience go, "wow, that's not what I'm used to seeing in a video camera. How'd you do that?"

      Gs400

      The GS400 is probably the ideal compromise for a new filmmaker. I used an old hi8 cam for 2 years while I was saving to get a good 1 chip cam for about a $1000. Then I bought a GS400 for about $1250 and what's funny is that people like my films just as much on average. You're right people comment on the story or the angles more than the exact cam I used. Don't wait like I did though if you're a kid and don't have a cam at all. Nowadays the cheap samsungs and canons are good enough to shoot a decent picture in the right person's hands.

        I have a PV-GS400, and I'm more than happy with the results. Sure, it doesn't have integrated XLR or Phantom, but a Beachtek quickly resolved that.

        By the way, it isn't the man behind the camera. It's the man in the camera. Get "inside" of the camera, and you can realize ANY cinematic dream.

          Now, let's not get confusing.

          What it has is a "frame" mode that's more accurately described as a "fake 30p," because it's 60i interpolated into 30p. It will not take on the motion characteristics of 24p.

          It *is*, however, a pretty decent match of the DVX's 30p mode, though the color matrix is different.

            Ah, true. Sorry--thinking in general categories, speaking in specific.
