How would you say the HMC40 compares to the HMC150? Does the HMC40 do scene files?

 

[Barry_Green]

The HMC40 does have pretty much the same scene file settings as the HMC150. It doesn't have a scene file dial, but you select which scene file you want from the menus.

As compared to the HMC150, take a look at my "first look" post about it. In general it's a great little camera for the price, it can take footage that's much sharper than the HMC150, but the HMC150 is three stops faster -- meaning it only needs 1/8 as much light as the HMC40 does. In broad daylight the HMC40's fantastic, but in low light conditions the HMC150 slays.

Frame grab from today. Format was 720 60P.

Is this real flame from the exhaust?

A few million going through that tunnel. Nice.

The lateral CMOS motion skew is ridiculous.

I can't understand how anyone thinks this is a viable format.

That would have looked more interesting on a DVX100.

Yes, these cars have after-market exhaust which do that.

Here is video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mGciR6Wnn8
