Like many people, I've been debating on which adapter is right for my needs for some time. I know pretty much what there is to know about each one, and I won't retread the steps of many past threads by asking 'which is the best', because if one thing has been proven without a shadow of a doubt, there is no correct answer to that question. In fact, what is clear is that the quality of the footage obtained from each adapter is directly proportional to the ability of its operator, and less to do with the quality of the adapter, as all options seem to generate fantastic results when properly used. Now, having said that, I think we can all agree that certain adapter/camera combos work really well together, and others seem to have some issues. For example: the sgpro/A1 combo and the letus/ex combo seem to generate superb results in general from what I've seen.
Now, I don't post here often, but I do read. And in my search for an adapter to fit my needs, I've read a lot of posts and looked at a lot of footage and I've mainly narrowed my search to either the sgpro and the letus. I use a dvx, which, I daresay is a bit archaic these days in the light of the newer fancy hd cams, but, what can I say, I'm poor (PAs make bugger all). I've seen quite a few videos of the sgpro/dvx combo which seems to yield great results, however, I've seen very little dvx/letus extreme footage to compare it to, and what I have seen has been mostly rubbish (though I'm fairly convinced they weren't great examples of what the combo could be capable of). I plan to eventually upgrade my camera of course, but for the time being, I'm hoping to find something that works great with the dvx within the confines of sd, and will eventually work well for a higher end camera when I make that jump.
Obviously there are a lot of considerations to take in to account, and the decision is mine, but my basic question (after this long-winded introduction) is I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the letus ex/dvx combo, or can point me in the direction of footage and/or grabs, or information regarding it? It would help immensely.
I apologize if this has been covered, my search yielded little information.
cheers.
