i am happy to say that i will finally be an "official" dvxuser =) i just ordered a dvx100a today and it will arrive on friday...i can finally get rid of my vhs camera and 2 betamax recorders and get into some serious nle digital video production ;D
taylor, i actually had a vx-1000 which i sold last year so my gear has been collecting dust! i've had that camera since 1997 and was always trying to find a way to get my footage to look like film...i used cinelook, NLE techniques...but still not the look i wanted. the closest look i got to film was shooting in low light so i can have grain since the vx-1000 was crappy in low light happy to finally be part of the dvx family and not an outsider looking in 8)
...and yes! i do have friday off...i will keep looking out the window everytime i hear a UPS type truck coming by(damn sparkletts water)! i betcha i'm not the only one!
I still don’t get this “battery charge wait” thing. Plug it into the friggin’ wall! Your first footage is going to be in your kitchen or living room anyway . . .
