This may seem a bit daffy, but I have struggled with sharpness ever since my Mom bought me a Bolex 155 Macrozoom camera in the 70s. I always wanted to achieve the same clarity of images that I witnessed on the BIG screen with films I admired. In the 80s I longed for Panavision, ended up in...

Greetings, I'm about to place my order at B and H for the HMC 150! I've had a DVX100B for about 4 years and love it! One thing I dislike about the DVX is the little JERK when you are trying to feather in to a sneaky zoom. Does anyone know if the problem has been remedied on the HMC 150. Thanks!

Got a Merlin, IM GOING CRAZY!!! Whats the SECRET? Did I waste 800 bucks??

I've recently noticed that when I zoom out on the DVX 100B, the frame shifts a bit. If I am on full telephoto, and creep the zoom out (not the handle zoom) the picture shifts as the zoom begins. Tryed it on full wide zooming in and it seemed better. It's like the zoom gear is "catching the other...

Can anyone tell me how to eliminate that vibrating horizontal line jitter that can be seen on shots with the fore mentioned. ie roof with shingles, etc. Note: I like to rev up detail...Have I answered my own question? Verticle line detail??

Its true...you can get a DVX 100 B for 2800 bucks, with the 4 year Mack warrantee, and an extra battery...for 3150.00. Love it! As for HI DEF...Let def be HIGH! How much detail do you need? Can your camera see as well as you? I'm just at apoint where I just dont think DETAIL is that IMPORTANT...

If you plug in to a regular TV via RCA out of the DVX 100B will the 24P you shot view as 24P? Do you have to do anything else to it? Just a footnote... is there a way to convert the audio knobs where you can get a hold of them?? Whats the best shoulder mount adapter? How much do Videographers...

I got really board one night and decided to turn my DVX 100B into an ARRI35mm. I found some foamcore with a matte black finish, and constructed a 400' magazine using black tape to hold it together. Putting the finish white tape on the side ARRI 1/26/07 5247 Roll 1...It rocked! Fitted it to the...

I recently became drunk and discovered that when using the Panasonic Anamorphic lens, you can go into letterbox and get a cinemascope look...? It just makes you feel like you have less of a tv....but it gets you sizzle for yor gizzzle- Redneck Video

Just saw the film November, although I was annoyed at the structure of the editing, I was captivated with the use of color. Reminds me that audiences don't have to understand, only remember. QUESTION: They say they uprezzed this DVX to HD Digibeta, then Transfered to 35mm neg. How does uprezzing...

I'm an old guy, 48. My first film was shot on a Double 8mm (Flip the roll over after 25 feet) Progressed to SUPER 8. ( didn't want to,film was out of touch in a weird black cartridge) Shot it learned to love it... Dreamed of shooting 16mm, it was sharper and could be projected over a long...

Wow! Ive shot betacam most of my life. Shooting with DVX countered some probs! Had to shoot my high school reunion. First off....NO LIGHT, they had the lights dimmed to a night light look. My color temp must have been 2000. I had the cam set for F1. I white balanced and it said LOW LIGHT! I said...

I'm reading through Barry Green's book and He says thin gives you best resolution. But while experimenting with the menu and switching back and forth, thick seems to look sharper... Help! I have a DVX 100B and I'm trying to make the image as sharp as the camera can do. Barry if your listening...
