What i mean is: - a GH5S with less pixels (like Sony A7S) - a GH5 in a DVX200 Body - a GH5 in an AF100 Body I think, something of this could happen. What do you think? Or someone has "insider"-information about future products, based on the GH5? ;-)

Hi to all! I always wanted an AF 100 and now there are some offers of used ones for under 1k. I found one that looks really good and with the 60p/50p upgrade (but not the A-Version) and three batteries for 750 bucks. But it has 1100 hours on it. I dont think thats a big problem, because...

Hey friends! Im one step before buying a DVX 200. My first "real" Cam was the beloved HPX 301. Still in use after almost 8 years! Also have a Sony X70 and like it, but my heart cries for the panasonic "MoJo" ;-) What i do often with both cams is a focus transition from macro to almost infinity...

The trendsportscene use "old" Pannies! And they love it! No need for super trendy big-sensor stuff! Have to admit they used the great and expensive 3.5 Fujinion- Wideangle lens... ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfH2u3cn0do

Hi Folks! Good to be here again! My 301 is still working fine... :) Now to the GH3: I got mine last week, did some Tests and im happy with it. I still love my GH2, too. But the Codecs of the GH3... Im really pleased with the variety of Codecs. BUT: I miss more interlaced Options and 50p...

Hi all HPX 3xx people! After a few month of using my HPX, i think ive learned a lot by tryNerror. And you too, i guess! So i thought id be a good idea to collect our experiences in one simple "List" to help "Newbies" or interested people. Im still happy with my cam, but learned about its...

Does anybody know if the leading Lens manufactures plan to release new 1/3 inch lenses? I mean the actual lineup is very small.... Maybe they could sell more lenses if there would be a bigger choice. Its the right time, isnt it? Pana 300, JVC 700/250, Sony 270.... I think there are a lot of...

Hi Folks, i just read about this interesting hardware: http://www.convergent-design.com/CD_Products_nanoFlash.htm Did anyone of you have experience with that tool? It sounds like a good option to record on cheap CF-Cards and to turn my panasonic-cam into a sony-cam, if the client wants...

Hi guys, i recognized an interesting fact: If you close the iris and switch between the gain settings to check the noise-levels, something strange happen at -3 dB. There appears a kind of distortion i didnt know before: flickering, horizontal white lines... Can somebody explain, why that...

Hi folks, dont think thats something new. But maybe i can help someone with that. I bought an older but renewed notebook with PCMCIA-Slot to copy P2-Cards without the camera because ill have a shoot where i have to shoot and to copy at the same time soon. It arrived today, i tested it and it...

Hi folks, can anybody recommend a zoom-remote for the 300/01? I tried various ones, but no one worked correctly. Apparently there is something "new" in the protocoll.... Thanks in advance!

Hello, i just downloaded the Firmware-update. In the Moment the Camera is installing it from SD-Card. Takes 10 Minutes now... I hope all is fine.... Now is my question: What are the Changes, except of the Flashband-Update? Any other Changes, Fixes? Maybe Jan could answer? Thanks in advance!

The last few days i was forced to shoot with an EX1, because the client has already EX1-Footage and dont want to mix Formats. So here my impressions compared to my beloved 301: Im not a professional Editor, so i cant give a statement about advantage/disadvantage of the codecs. There are Threads...

Hi to all. Think it would be a great idea, if everybody post his prefered Scene File Settings. That would be interesting to all 300 owners.... My kind of Work is ENG-Shooting in SD. So let me begin: Detail Level: 0 V Detail Level: 0 Detail Coring: +4 Chroma Level: 0 Chroma Phase: 0...

Just got the Cam and i really like it! So i want to protect the lens with an UV-Filter. The Question: Is this negatively affecting the CAC Function, because it changes the characteristic of the Lens? So the CAC-File wont match anymore? Whats about Filters with heavier effect like polarisation...
