In general if I where to post say a 1 minute sample of some video I shot would anybody be able to say in a meaningful way how it could be improved from a DOP POV? Or would the person need to be there at the time of shooting to see things like ambient light etc? Obviously there are the general...

the Guerilla35? It seemed to be like really really promising but they never really 'delivered' Indy.... In London

Can anyone confirm that there is more than one verison of the portable firestore? There's a Video magazine here in the UK that has a review for a "focusenhancement HDV Firestore" priced at between £520 and £800 dependent on the spec. On a recent trip to my local Panny dealer he quoted me just...

What the hell happened to those guys? Indy.....

Bought my Pal HVX200 in July and while at the dealers also got recommended the KATA range of bags. I ended up buying the BP-502 backpack as it was illustrated carrying everything that I needed i.e. the HVX, Laptop, mic and hard disk. Being assured it was 'top of the range quality' I paid nearly...

What are people using to record audio independent of the HVX? I've looked at both the Edirol R09 and another one whose name eludes me for the moment but is of the same form factor and price. Are there any better options? The one thing that concerns me is that I'll need some pretty large or...

Are people in the UK registering their HVX's with Panasonic? If so how? Cheers Indy....

I'm sure that many of you will be aware that there has been a major security upgrade at UK airports. I'm due to fly to India (Delhi) next week and was wondering if anybody can acually confirm that they've been able to take an HVX as hand luggage? Cheers Indy....

Am I correct in assuming that Panasonic have not released any 'P2 viewer' software for the Mac? If so how do/would I go about editing/creating P2 Metadata? i'm off to India next week and being able to tag things would be a real boon! Cheers Indy....

That Steve will announce support for 25p in FCP at the currently in motion WWDC! Indy.....

Is/are there any lens adapters for the HVX that can be bought from a UK retailer? i.e. does the M2 have a UK distributer? The issue of living in the UK but buying from the US is not particuarly something I relish doing esp due to the tax and warranttee issues! Cheers Indy.....

I use P2 Log to enable me to import 720 25p into FCP. It works as advertised until I go to export it when I get this effect..... http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/3641/1153399522.jpg Anyone know why? and also how is it remedied? Cheers Indy....

I've offloaded a total of 3 full 4gb P2 cards worth of data.... on my 4th while the HVX was connected direct to my 17" Powerbook and offloading to a blank folder on the desktop the transfer just STOPPED. The P2 activity light continued to flash but the transfer was stuck at 810.2mb Il eft it...

Is there an HVX set-up Cook Book anywhere? I think that this would be a very well used resource especially for those new to the HVX. I know that there are a number of very experienced users here but some basic knowledge on how to set the HVX up under varing circumstances i.e. low light, night...

Was passing through Alexandra Palace last night and was really taken by the stunningly clear view over the east end of London coupled with a huge orange moon. I had the HVX with me so I hurriedly set it on a wall and pointed it at Canary Wharf. I set the HVX to record a frame every 5 seconds to...
