Can any of the outputs on the 160, say the RCA or SDI ports, be used as an input as well? What I need to do is record a video feed coming out of a switcher at a local sports venue. I was wondering if there was a way I could plug the signal coming out of the switcher into the 160, and use the...

I was wondering if it is possible to reorder Barry Green's book that you can order for free with your camera? I sent in my information card, in order to get the book, a couple a months ago and still haven't received it. The reason I think it did not go through was because the info card said...

I know alot of you are probably using these cameras primarily for weddings and events, which are priced a bit differently. Even if this is your primary work, I'm sure you all get asked to shoot an interview or promotional video for somebody from time to time. I was curious to see what sort of...

I'm filming a wedding for some friends of mine this weekend. My friends don't own a blu-ray player or anything, so I will need to give the footage to them on a regular SD-DVD. Of course, the easy thing to do would be to flip the 160 into SD mode and be done with it, but I would kind of like to...

I have some 1080/60i footage shot on an HMC-150, that I need to convert to 1080/30p.

I was wondering if anyone had advice on the best way to do this?

I am currently purchasing a camera and am strongly considering the AC-160 at this point, as it seems like the best camera available in its price range. I do have one more question though that I would like answered. I currently do a lot of work with a client who shoots many all-day, live...

I am a FCP editor. I am fresh out of college and trying to decide what reasonable rate to charge for editing is. I know final cut, motion, and soundtrack well and have used them for numerous projects. I have not had the opportunity to edit for many paying gigs yet though. I have heard some...

I am a graduate student (recently graduated with a film degree). I am looking to buy a "prosumer" type of camera that is nice enough to get me a job filming live events (weddings, concerts etc.) and hopefully some low-end shoots as well. I know I won't get any calls from ABC with a camera like...
