I've heard talk of the Pentak K5 and gh2 being very good. Also maybe the Nikon D5100? I want to be able to shoot impromptu interviews in low light and have decent visual quality. Decent meaning without distracting gain. Low light meaning in just average room light or as low as dingy but not too...

I've made films before but only using actual film. I'm now getting into setting up to edit on a computer and Final Cut Pro X (and possibly Premiere as well). I've decided to go the iMac route and have spent hours reading about hardware options. I would love some advice from those who have the...

Hi All, I'm looking for advice on a camcorder (or HDSLR perhaps) to document a upcoming backpacking trip. I want a small and light (if possible) unit capable of 1080p and sound. I don't care as much about the video and audio quality as much as I care about the portability though if I can have...

I was trying to use my Rode stereo videomic to do some interviews and was surprised just how low the volume was. Here's my settings. 1) Mic turned to 0db no rolloff (as opposed to -10db) 2) Magic Lantern build from Mar 12th 3) analog gain set to 32 4) digital gain set to 12 (its been...

Hi There, There is a plethora of info about shotgun/camera mount mics but I thought I'd ask outright for opinions based on experience with using a camera mount mic (specifically on my T2i) that allows for the most spontaneity and maneuverability. I want to find a solution that will allow me to...

Hi I just output a HD movie (t2i, proressed, final cut proed out to compressor using youtube sharing settings H.264 w/ AAC audio) and found out the volume of the resultant file is very low and tinny sounding, but only when the speaker balance on my macbook is in the detente position. If I swing...

This is my first digital shoot ever. So I'm stumbling around through this process and realizing how much new stuff there is to know. I am shooting an instructional DVD on engraving. This last weekend I did a test. I shot the person who is going to be doing the presentation in his engraving...

I am reading conflicting articles about this. In one article it says that the T2i's 1080p at 24 fps is really 23.98 and the 30 fps is really 29.97 In another it says that is not true. That the T2i 1080p is progressive and full 24fps or 30fps In one article, it says that when you bring your...

I'm getting ready to do my first film in Final Cut Pro. All shot with T2i at either 1920X1080p30 or 1920X1080p24. (If I think I might go to film eventually, I'll shoot 24) I'm just getting into DSLR filmmaking and I'm not sure which project setting is best for the T2i in Final Cut Pro. I plan...

Hi There, Based on recommendations from this forum I purchased a Canon T2i and Olympus LS-11. I'm very very happy with my decision. I've been experimenting with sound and am thoroughly confused however. I set up all my microphones and tried some tests to determine what setup I will use. I'm...

Hi, I'm on the verge of getting a camera and am a bit overwhelmed by all the changes in the industry and sheer amount of technical considerations. I'm considering the Panasonic af100 and red scarlett (and any other camera this post brings up including still cameras that shoot viable HD). I...

I'm new to this market but really need to get a camera that I can count on. I've been researching it a little and am considering waiting for the Sony Z5U with compact flash unit. Originally I was thinking of the Canon XHA1 which I know is considerably cheaper. I'll be shooting mainly...
