Seems like this is the de facto forum for the SPX800, so I have a rather urgent question as I may be bidding on one of these cams. If equipped with the optional 1394 firewire interface, does the 800 stream ALL formats of video, including DVCPro50, or just DV? I read a comment to the latter...

Didn't really see an appropriate Panasonic "catch all" forum for this question, so thought I'd post it here. How does DVCPro 50 footage shot on either the SPX800 or SDX900 look when meticulously uprezzed and viewed at HD resolutions? I'm looking to invest in another camera and have been back...

I've never owned an HD camera or any other camera with SDI output. My only knowledge of the interface standard is that it is supposedly a serial digital output protocol. Can someone clarify for me what the nature of the SDI output is as implemented on the HPX-500? Specifically: (1) At what...

A definite "noob" question here. If/when I buy the 500, it will be my first camera with native 16:9 chips. I shoot now on a DVX and a Sony DSR-300 (1/2" CCDs, 4:3). I see indications on interchangeable lenses for the format of the image, either 4:3 or 16:9, and I presume that means you must...

Got my hands on a loaner HVX 200 and FS 100 for the weekend. The dealer is (of course) closed until Monday and he doesn't know anything about the camera anyway (he's mainly a Sony guy). I would have much preferred P2 cards for the trial, but he didn't have any so this is my one and only way to...

Some personal background: I have wide-ranging uses/interests as a video producer. My money makers are dance recitals and small scale doc stuff, but I also want to shoot my own dramatic works. I have a short script now that I'm on the verge of prepping and shooting. I own a DVX-100B and Sony...

I have been a member of this forum for over two years, since I bought my DVX-100. I visit several times a week on average, as any forum login records will show. I don't post a lot but do post when I think I have something meaningful to say. I offered my first DVX screen grabs some two years...

(Caveat: Of course this is way premature, but then that's the whole point of this new forum, right . . . to share excitement about the "what ifs" and "I wonders" and generally speculate about a camera which we are at best months away from even seeing? ;D) I've read elsewhere on the forum that...

Hello, I've been an avid lurker here for quite a while, even before buying my DVX-100a in June. I bought it to function as a second camera on multicamera dance/musical recital shoots and the like (I own a Sony DSR-300 as well) and to avail myself of its 24P capabilities for the more personal...
