    DVX100B Vs HVX200

    I know at first this doesn't seem like much of a match up. However I have the DVX100B and a lens adaptor and a 50mm and 20mm lens. Now I'm thinking of selling all this gear to get me just the HVX200 and a couple of P2 cards. What would people advise? Stick with the DVX or go for the HVX? Also...

    60 minutes is not enough

    Hi folks, I'm discovering as I use my DVX100B more and more that 60 minutes of tape is just not enough in some situations and a tape change can really cause some problems in post.

    Audio Query

    I have been planning on buying a AT897 mic for my DVX. However I recently used a Zoom H4 recorder and I have to say I was really impressed with the results. I could just leave it in one position for the whole gig (or I could mount it to my camera if needed). I got a nice even sound and because...

    Hi everyone I start shooting a rather large project on the UK trials bike scene next week and need some advice. So far I have been very happy with my DVX100B's performance and have not needed to upscale. However this project requires some extra quality as it will really be a labor of love. For...

    Hi everyone. Tonight I'm filming a 21st movie themed birthday party in a club. The lighting conditions will be changing dramatically every second so I'm guessing setting the white balance is out of the question. Is the best option to use the 3.2K preset? Or does anyone have any advice on...

    Getting the best quality vids with what I have!

    I went out on tuesday and shot some test footage with my DVX100b in 25p (PAL). I imported all the footage via firewire into Final Cut Express 4 with the "DV PAL" setting and made a short video that night in the timeline.
