Hi all, I have HMC150 footage (AVCHD 1920x1080/24p) to edit with Final cut Pro 6, using ProRes. Need some quick help here: What are the best audio/video settings? 1. Sequence preset? 2. Capture preset? 3. Video playback? Should I use ProRes 422 (HQ) or just ProRes 422? Thanks

Does setting the HPX171 (pal version of the HPX170) to 59.9Hz and shooting in 24P make your footage ntsc instead of pal?

Hi all, I have a shoot in a couple of days, using the HMC151 (pal), and trying to figure out what's best: to shoot in 25P or 24P? The 24P mode is native recording, and the 25P records over 50i. Does setting the camera to 59.9Hz and shooting in 24P make the footage ntsc? Thanks

I just got my own HMC151 and have a few questions. I hope someone can help me out with these: 1. This European HMC151 Pal model is able to shoot 25P and 24P. The manual tells me I can easily switch from 50Hz to 59.9Hz and shoot in 24P (and 30P + 60i). It also mentions that the 24P mode is...

Does anyone know if a mattebox with 3x3 filters match the HMC150 28-mm wide angle lens? Or should I go for the 4x4 filters?

Does anyone know if there's a quality difference between a Mattebox 3x3 and a 4x4 filter? The 4x4 is larger, obviously, but does it make any difference for the quality of my footage? I'm shooting on the DVX100 and will soon start shooting on the HMC150. :dankk2:

Anyone using a polarizer filter with his HMC150? What's best to use with this cam, a circular or linear polarizer? Any comments? I did some research and concluded that using one when shooting hand held is not very useful since the filter must be adjusted every time when you change the angle of...

Thinking of buying one of these two: Sandisk 16GB SDHC Extreme III class 6 30 mb/s or Panasonic SDHC 16GB class10 22 mb/s Which one is better? The Sandisk is 30 mb/s but the Panasonic is class 10 and a new product. It's a Panasonic camera I'll be using, the HMC151, does that mean it's...

How useful or necessary is the use of a mattebox? Is it mainly the use of filters? Does it really gives you better footage controlling the light coming to the lens? Or is the lens hood of the DVX100 (and HMC150) sufficient enough, and do you only need a mattebox in extreme light circumstances?

Using the HMC150, what's the best handheld Stabilizer for me to buy? Is it the: 1. Merlin Tiffen Steadicam? 2. Varizoom Flowpod? Or Varizoom Ultra light? 3. Or the Glidecam 4000 Pro? and why?... :dankk2:

I'm a DVX100B user and I Want an upgrade. But what to buy? Go for the HVX201, the HPX171 or the new HMC151? 1. Do all 3 have the same kind of "scene files" as the DVX? What are the differences? 2. All three have the same progressive modes? 3. I'll be using it mainly for short narratives...
