So, I will be shooting several interviews for a documentary and am looking into using the H4n with my Lav mic. Is the quality of the audio high enough on the Zoom? I mean, would it be comparable to what I would get from recording audio on an HVX200? I will be running audio through a shotgun...

Hey, I will be purchasing either a 7D or a T2i this week, and I keep going back and forth on this. Here is the deal... I will be using the camera almost exclusively for video. I am shooting a documentary and will be using it for several interviews and a lot of B roll. I can either... A.) Buy...

I'm considering selling my HVX setup to get a 7D kit. Considering what I have here, what's the consensus on what I should be asking for this? --HVX200 (152 Hours) --16 GB P2 Card --GigSkinz Camera Bag --HVX Boot Camp DVD Vol. 1&2 I'm the original owner and have babied this camera. It also...

Hey all-- I'm an HVX200a owner, and I think I'm just about ready to hop over to the 7D side... but one question........ When is the next gen of HDSLR cameras expected? I mean, how long will the 7D be the go-to for HDSLR shooting? If it's a matter of just a year or so, I may just hold out and...

Okay... here is the deal. I am shooting a very low budget feature documentary, heavy on the interviews and archive footage. I'm considering switching from my current basic HVX200a to a Canon 7D... If I accompany the 7D with the following, what more do I need to have it match up to the HVX--...

Hey-- I currently own an HVX200A (with pro level shotgun & lav mics). I like it, but am considering moving toward the Canon 7D. My question is this: What would I need to replicate what I get out of the HVX in terms of audio? And really, how does the 7D stack up in other areas in all of your...

I am looking into getting an external monitor... What are the pros and cons of getting a flat-panel HDTV (19 inch) vs. an HD Computer Monitor (21.5 inch)? Any and all help is appreciated!

My FCP6 WILL NOT log & transfer the footage from my P2 cards (And I have tried all advice for how to get it to work...) And I need to start editing, so I am going to have to buy either P2 log pro or Raylight for MAC to repackage my files as .mov. My question is: Which program do you recommend...

I shot an interview yesterday and, despite all efforts, I could not get rid of the glare on my subject's glasses. (His office had windows and shiny furniture everywhere!) He won't be on screen for very long in the final film, but I was wondering what my options are for attempting to lessen the...

Hey, I have had the same log & transfer problem that has been brought up so many other times... FCP6 ingests my footage, but goes idle on the transfer. I have tried all possible fixes and it still will not work. So, now I am breaking down and buying an outside program to log & transfer the...
