I have a Tascam DR-100 MKII that has been in my bag for about 2 years. Probably has less than 10 hrs of recording. Pulled it out to use as a remote and it is acting like the switch is bad. Sometimes it turns on, sometimes not. I can always get it to turn on with enough fiddling. When it is on...

I have a Panasonic GH1 about 1.5 yrs old. Body only, no lens. Includes all the kit that came with the original camera including box and all the goodies still in their original wrappings. I have the original Panny battery 2 non-Panny batteries if you intend to run the GH-17 software on it. It is...

Today I took delivery of a new Tascam DR-100 recorder. I have played all day with it, recording with a mixture of the on-board mics as well as external mics. Problem I have noticed is that the recording levels seem to be very low. Source does not seem to matter other than I have not had chance...

I found a good deal on a Manfrotto 504HD + 536 CF sticks. The head was an open box but the sticks are brand new. Right now I only have my new GH1 but intend to build it up with a full rig, external audio, etc and have legacy glass out to 400mm. My interest is in shooting wildlife video. I know...
