GH-1 Goes to the Thrift Store

Gimme a break. You're not the only one with an HVX-- oops I mean RED, Sanjin. Sorry, it's just like the HVX: everyone and their mother has one. Go rent your camera for 300/day and feel undercut and bitter. Obsolescence Obsolete. LoL

Sanjin

I'm used to his name at Reduser as Sanjin. Since he didn't sign his post; didn't know that was him.

Did you guys hear about that post house in LA that's letting projects rent their RED for free if they agree to do post-production at their facility? Crazy!

Oversaturated here in Los Angeles. And certainly no big deal if you shoot with one. It really is like the HVX now around here and rents for just as much as the original HVX200 as well. LoL.

It's true. I can rent a RED without PL Zeiss lenses, but with a lot of support equipment for $300-$400 / day here in LA through my "source". That's why I think about 8 times over before buying a camera - and then usually don't go through with it. In a market area like LA, it's almost always better to rent a video camera than to buy. As we see here at dvxuser, a hot new generation of camera comes around almost every year. Ever darn project I'm on has different requirements and budgets, it just doesn't make sense to buy and be stuck shooting one format to make back the cost.

folks. i gotta tell you. i have watched about every clip out there of the gh1 and have gone back and forth on the quality of the 1080 24p, have read bloom's blog etc. but i decided to try something new, i burned this clip http://vimeo.com/4582107 to my blu ray player from sony vegas 9. the difference is unbelievable, its so smooth and incredible, no jerky pans, no linear lines. much much better then the download to a hard drive as well. all the funky lines are gone (as you can see i am quite the amateur but i know clean footage when I see it).
