ncje's A1 Thread

Good news people! I'd bet too but working @european_market, it would be more $500 (plus $500 for the angle converter) and I'm still waiting for the HD-SDI solution for the laptop recording from the G1, if possible.

I also found it from this supplier here:

About three/four days ago, they had a 3,300 - 3,400 price but not any more now. So, according pricegrabber.com, yours it seems the lower one. Good buy(s)!
 
Are the cams shipping with "vigor"? as in do you have to wat for shipments to come in before you get it?
 
also, whats do you reckon it performance is in lowlight? 1 stop slower than DVX 2stops? 3? etc. just curious
 
Hmmm... I was going to buy from B&H photo but know i'm not so sure; Digitalfoto has a more competitive price. If i bought the camera i would have to get the 4 year warranty (which is $50 cheaper the B&H) does any one have experience with Digitalphoto's warranty they offer? I'm still a little concerned they might try to sale me a gray market camera and it doesn't help that they are located in Brooklyn. Does anyone else have any experience from buying from Digitalfoto? Is digitalfoto an authorized Canon dealer?

Technically? Humm. I wouldn't know, but I've seen the comparison videos and it's low light performance is great. Especially when fine-tuned.

One thing I did notice is the vertical smear on lights. It can get pretty bad.
 
Actually upon further inspection Digitalfoto's version does not include a compact power adapter (I believe this runs about $100- $200). As well the shipping is free on the 5-9 day delivery but anything sooner will cost 90+. Just to play it safe i will probably buy from B&H. However, i would still be interested in buying from Digitalfoto for equipment needs.

Scenedirector, can you get in touch with Canon and ask them to confirm the Serials as US Warranty? If more people are going to buy from them then I am a little scared if this isnt clariified, you would be doing everyone a great service in doing so.
 
ncje, for the GINZANIGHTSCENE.mov file that you posted I have 2 questions.

1. what shutter speed did u shoot in? the birds flying looked cool with that shutter speed.

2. what song/artist was that? loved the song.

God Jay hope you read the entire details about the pidgeons... I reset the gain to +12 during sunlight hours whoch killed just about everything I shot that day. The pidgeons were shot at like 1/8000th. The Ginza night scene shutter speed varied and I didnt note it, but basically just chose the look I wanted then matched exposures.

And song as per Mirezzi.
 
I received EVERYTHING. Like I saide before, I didn't let the UPS man leave my doorstep or sign his pad until I opened EVERYTHING to check on it.

NCJE: Yes, I will check on the serials this upcoming week. This website has helped me out TREMENDOUSLY over the last couple years. It's owed to inform you guys to help out.
 
One more thing guys.

The only thing I did NOT like, right out of the box, was no plugs or covers over the XLR inputs. I don't want dust and dirt getting in them.

Can anyone recommend a third party plug or cover I can buy. From a music shop? From B&H? Some where. I don't like that they are exposed.

Let me know, thanks!
 
Might want to make sure they're supposed to be exposed out of the box. Do let us know when you find out about those Serials. I'm interested.
 
Man... guys I spent all weekend trying for the shot I wanted and still didnt get it right. I am recreating part of the dolly so I can have another try. When it comes to shooting this scene for real I wont have the luxury of days to spend on getting it so have to get it right now.

I do have some footage coming soon.
