It's always sunny in Philadelphia in HD... Still using the DVX100!!!

[mvetanen]

My production company owns the DVX100, HVX200 and the HPX300. We use the DVX100 for about 70% of the projects and shoot the majority of our projects in DV 60i.

Camera choice and format always comes down to budget. Also have to consider the broadcast format, options for syndication, DVD/Blu-ray markets, foreign markets.

From what I can see of the show on FX, a micro-budget series, they made a good choice using the DVX100. It is a camera that works well in low light, has a good image and is the best bang for your buck. Let's face it, cast and crews don't work for free.

I saw Carson Daly and crew shooting a stand up at Farmers Market and they were shooting with a 5d/7d/gh1 set up. Not sure which camera, but they were running sound into a DVX.

The DVX records 48K uncompressed sound. The other cameras will record in a lower bit rate compressed.

The DVX has been getting broadcast play since it first came out years ago. I would bet there is a lot of material you have watched on TV shot with it. It is a workhorse.

Yes indeed, both network and local. I've been shooting local sports with it in my area ever since I went to freelancing almost two years ago.

Now I have three DVX cameras, which I use for multi-cam shoots and the like (and for backup, of course). The funny thing is that I have one of each: an original 100, a 100A and a 100B. The original is the workhorse/everyday-shooter and it's still going strong with almost 1000 hours on it without a service call yet.

I'd like to get an HVX eventually. Despite my lack of HD projects in my small market, I will eventually have to take that step. But at the same time, I may never get rid of my DVX cameras. lol

Yup. It's part of the family over here. Never letting that thing go.

No. I do the same thing too.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia, now broadcasting in HD, is still being shot with the DVX100!

According to their recent interview with Avid (and the behind the scenes videos), they now shoot on the Sony EX3.
