The HVX Book

I thought I read a little about this somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I guess this is really a question for Barry, but anyone is certainly welcome to chime in.

I don't own a DVX100. I have used one on a couple shoots. I plan on getting the HVX200 when it hits the market. I read somewhere that you will do an HVX book similar to the DVX book, dealing with depth of field, frame rates, resolutions, etc, etc. specifically for the HVX. I'm sure you don't want to promise official release dates for the book (especially with the camera's release date unannounced), but do you plan on it showing up before or at the same time as the camera? Or, should I buy the DVX book now and try to apply that knowledge to the HVX?

Thanks.
 
The HVX book will have all the same basic knowledge as the DVX book, but also a ton more. Lots lots lots more. And the material in The DVX Book will all be updated to be applicable to the HVX as well.

However, for your DVX usage, the DVX book will be more appropriate. And I'm not trying to push my own product, I'm saying that 2/3 of that book isn't general tutorials and things like that, it's menu settings and operation of the DVX camera, and when to use each function etc. Those elements may or may not apply to the HVX, it remains to be seen what the menu structure is like and what the specific options are and how they actually work.

The HVX book will be exactly that -- a book on the HVX. It will be everything I can possibly figure out about, learn about, decipher, and then teach about the HVX. I'll go through every setting, test it in every circumstance I can find, and figure out exactly what every feature does and give recommendations on when to use each feature, when to avoid, how to use combinations to get the best results, etc...

As such, it can't come out before the HVX does. I'm aiming for having something as close to the launch as possible, but it can't be before.
 
Man, I am looking forward to this camera and book.

Do you think they will include the hvx book with the cam as a promo eventually? I'm sure it won't be included at first, but that's expected.
 
But it's likely, I'm sure.

On the other hand, maybe Panny will have Barry write the manual! Wouldn't that be sweet?
