Just wanted to know what other 300 owners have encountered in the industry re the 300. In Australia I haven't seen any hire companies buy them, and I've met a few people who have almost been hostile in their assessment of the camera. I swear most of them are just parroting what they have read and I think that talk has driven the price down and forced an update from Panasonic. I showed a doco I shot to one editor at a post house and he couldn't believe it was a 300. I think he honestly thought the 300 would skew like an iphone. Skew has been a non issue for me.
The only complaint I have with the 302 is that in low light it is very ordinary but most of my work is lit anyway so it doesn't really bother me. I don't think it would cut it as a news camera. I chose this camera over a 500 and I don't regret it, I looked at the 500 for ages but to me it just looked soft. It felt like a sideways step from my 2/3 inch SD camera ( which I still use for some clients ).
My clients have all been happy with the results but the general industry has seemed to dismiss it. Curious to hear what has everyone else found ?
