Hello,

I made short documentaries, sometimes image films and I use a GH2 and borrow a Canon 5D II if I need one. For different reasons I have sometimes no time to pull the focus manually. Therefore I'm looking for a small ENG-style cam I can combine with the GH2/5DII. Most important, the automatic focus should be very accurat, even when the object is moving. It could be a used one. Price max. 2000/2500 $. Any ideas suggestions?

Best wishes, Rod
 
HMC-40 and HDC-SD90 both mix well with GH2, depending on what size and level of manual control you are after.
 
Thanks, well, I'll look at the AC 90 when the cam is availiable in Europe. I need the PAL-version.
 
Although the AC-90 is the new latest greatest, the HMC40 has a couple of features that make it an alternative. It is a much smaller cam and has a wfm for better exposure control. The auto functions work pretty well in my experience. IQ is excellent, though I have no comparison to the AC90 which may be better yet. The HMC40 downside is the mediocre VF and flipout. You can work with it, but it isn't the strong suit of the cam.
