It looks like Panasonic has done a major housecleaning of their handheld camcorder lineup. B&H lists the PX230, PX270, DVX200, UX90 and UX180 all as discontinued, and none of them appeared on the Panasonic pro AV web site as of yesterday. (However, some are back as of today, for whatever that's...

I am inching closer to pulling the trigger on an EVA1. I was an early adopter of the AF100 and have a bag full of Canon EF glass for still photography, so it seems like a logical step up to me. I'm curious whether anyone has used the EVA1 with the Canon EF-S 10-22mm F3.5-4.5 lens. Although not...

Any news/rumors/information about the new AJ-PX230? From the pictures and specs on the B&H site, it appears to be virtually identical to the PX270 but minus the full sized P2 slot. If that's the only difference, it sounds like a good deal for $750 less (after rebates). I was never invested in...

I teach a media production class at a specialized high school for gifted students. The course is roughly half about production and aesthetics, and half about the technology itself (being as it's offered through the Computer Science department here). When reviewing the history of image making...

I had an ad for this item pop up while viewing an unrelated website today (amazing how the whole Internet now knows I'm a DVX200 owner): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1198770-REG/acebil_st_7r_mountable_shoulder_adapter.html The features and design look interesting and, to a large...

Looking for a Panasonic Lumix 35-100mm f2.8 MFT lens. Let me know if you've got one to sell. Thanks in advance. - Greg

I've just acquired a nice second-hand Audio-Technica AT4053b microphone and would like to know what others are using as a windscreen. It came with the usual little chunk'o'foam in the case, but I'm used to more robust solutions for my shotguns and wonder whether this mic needs the same degree...

I'm considering a Vinten Vision Blue head paired with Miller Solo DV legs as a lightweight field tripod to use with my HMC80. Nobody in my locality has one, so I've never seen the head in person and am depending on the positive reviews I've read to make this choice. I'll probably take a trip...

My first short shotgun microphone was a Sennheiser ME80 -- used that for everything back in the '80s and I thought, for the price, it had a very sweet sound. Those were analog 3/4" tape days for me, though, and standards have changed. When I started seriously upgrading my equipment about five...

I have acquired an old Canon 2/3" 13x9 zoom lens with built-in 2X extender meant for an Ikegami HL79. (In fact, I acquired the whole camera ... but that's another story.) I would like to explore whether this could be used on the AF100 with the extender engaged. But it uses the old Ikegami B3...

Mac's bad experience with his Cineroid reminded me that I damaged the LCD screen on my HMC80 by leaving it out where the sun could track across the viewfinder eyepiece on its very first outdoor shoot last fall. Fortunately, it is still usable and it is usually possible to ignore the scar when...

Mainly a question for Jan, who I hope knows about or can check on this. When the HMC80 rebate program was announced, I was thrilled to see the QRC-80CP adapter for Anton Bauer gold mount batteries included in the list. I'd like to put my old bricks back to use while they have some life left...
