I heard great things about this camera but there are so many problems that I wonder what all of the fuss is about. The audio no matter which setting, constantly changes so the person speaking suddenly sounds tinny like underwater, especially triggered outside in the wind. It varies on and off...

VIXIA HF G20 I already have a fantastic camera, the Panasonic HVX200. Love it. But many times, it's just too big. I want something I can fit in my packpack, and recored when I'm on the run. For $899. This camera seems great. Low light, and it shoots 24P. I refuse to shoot interlaced, with...

I am traveling to Turkey and wonder if there is anything I need to be concerned with regarding the 220V they use. I have heard that plugging the camera in or charging the batteries in certain non-compatible outlets can damage the camera.

I just received my 64 GB P2 E series and want to begin recording. 1. The 200HVX manual states that it is important to format the P2 cards with a P2 device. Do I need to purchase yet another piece of equipment? I know I can simply format in the camera. Confusing. 2. Is there some directions...

I just upgraded to the Sennheiser ME 66 and also the wireless that were recommended on this forum. LOVE it. Thanks for the recommendation. I am not sure how to eliminate the camera mic. I put the wireless XLR into Line 1, and the XLR of the shotgun into Line 2. When transferred test...

When I shoot FilmCAM mode, and 720P24, due to the Firestore, it records at 60., ( or the so-called "over 60"). This means that once imported to FC Studio, the editing timeline is 59.97. I purchased the camera for the same reasons most people do. To get that 24 progressive frames and have...

I have both CH1 and CH2 set to INPUT 2. I have an external mic plugged into INPUT 2 and the mic switch set to MIC. Upon playback in FCP Studio 2, why does it sound like channel 2 is coming from a distance, as if coming from the internal mic, which is at a distance from the subject? Only...

I will be attending a concert and will be conducting interviews. I will be on the go, so no time or space to set up lights. Do those lights that attach to the top of the camera work? Are some better than the others? It will be dark at times and brighter in the lobby. So, I need something that...

My DP who supposedly was familar with my new DVX200 rotated the zoom ring with force, when the ZOOM switch was set to SERVO. Now the both the servo and manual zoom seem to be working, but when the ZOOM switch is set to SERVO it is very loose. Not like before. How do I know if he damaged my...
