Where does the HVX200 fit into Filmmaking?

Collie, you are absolutely right. The cam WILL NOT be as good as the SDX or Varicam in many ways. The fact is, the cmaera will have some drawbacks and limitations, just as the DVX. What happens is that when you have no money, you shoot around your limitations. You block different shots, you choose different locations you light differently, to an extent the camera tolerates. If you don't get near the camera's drawbacks when you are shooting, and stick to shotting what the camera can shoot, you can do a whole feature and have the same quality than the big cameras. Lens is a deciding factor, latitude is another. Even though, there are some great shots theese cameras can pull, and with a set of those, a creative indie filmaker can make a lot of noise.

That's how I feel about it, HVX, DVX, or whatever...
 
Hey I think it will be the best for the price. However, if you have a JVC running around to spare, I'll take it in a pinch! ;)

Yeah John, you can do a 20,000 post video in high def!

Having watched your 10,000 video, I still think of you as looking like Christopher Walken...

I second that. Everytime I watch Christopher Walken in a movie, I remember John Hudson. :D
 
this **** is crazy. Just make sure no one shows Celluoid Dream the secret handshake.

Come on dude!!! According to you I should never go to B&H.

jesse
 
damn I missed the 10.000 video... so he did really do one?! where can i find it?! must see!!!! argh ;-) thx!!!
 
I’m so tired of this crap.

It’s bad enough that we get slammed for being Panasonic errand boys when we delete flamebait, like every other moderated forum does . . .

But now we’re not even allowed to a) express contrary opinions and b) correct faulty information? Collie posted a series of things he presented as fact. Jarred and Barry politely listed those things and pointed out why they’re wrong. They weren’t abusive or insulting in any way. And you notice his posts didn’t disappear.

I have been reading the DVXuser forums for a few months as I contemplate the purchase of a new video camera. I was at one time very interested in purchasing the DVX100A, and very excited about the new HD HVX200, but not anymore. Let me tell you why. This forum. I know this is not an official Panasonic forum, but this is unofficially, THE PLACE to get information and interact with other Panasonic camera users. I have been completely turned off by the bias and unprofessional behavior here towards points of view not directly in line with the majority. The treatment of Collie in this thread, has sealed the deal for me. So, bottom line, I don't care if you all don't care about the loss of one DVX-100 sale, but I want you to know that it has occured and I am probably not the only person who has been given a negative feeling about Panasonic by this website.

Enjoy your VX2100, or whatever you end up with.

Sony=Vegas. Jarred loves Sony. :thumbsup:
And, if you spent some time here you may discover so does Barry_S, Barry_Green, John_Hudson, all guys who are moderators of this forum. Use the best tools, I say.

D'oh . . . no love from Wells . . . :shocked:
 
Dunno what you mean, bro. You know I wouldn't touch Windows with a ten foot pole, but you gotta admit, isn't this the ultimate 'come back' for anyone who says all the moderators have been seduced by the Panasonic devil?! You are are equally invested in Sony equipment... yourself probably more than the average guy! Sony Vegas handles 24p better than FinalCutPro from what I've read. I'm already heavily spent on Mac though and don't really care to change. My comment stands with addendum: use the best tools, (unless you've already spent your budget on 'inferior' tools... with hopes that you'll be adding Final Touch SD to your setup which you couldn't run on Sony Vegas.... ) :thumbsup:

No, I just meant you listed Jarred, John, Barry, Barry . . . :cry:
 
There was at least one post in this thread that was eventually removed. At the time I originally posted it was still here. I believe this is the one that really upset me.

This is a classic cleverly insulting DVXuser response. I see this kind of thing on here all the time and it perfectly illustrates why I don't care for the behavior of this community. Jubal, I use Vegas 6 and actually purchased your Celluloid and Reelpack 1 for it. I wonder if I will ever make a purchase from vasst again? Hmm, what do you think? Keep it coming fellas, you are spreading all kinds of goodwill.

With all due respect, have you read all of Jubal28's posts? He's pretty helpful around these parts. I think you'd find by hanging here for a while we're all pretty helpful and the occasional aggravation is the abnormality. Maybe your "negative" filter needs flipped off.

As for the clever and cutting remarks... I've read all of your posts (all two of them) and I can't say the same about your contributions here. You bring nothing to the table. I hope that was cutting enough. You seem to be 'asking for it' by your tone.
 
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the VX2100 and it appears to be a very popular camera that those who choose not to go with the DVX tend to buy. I know at least ten such people in town here, and they’re all quite happy with it.

Jeez. If someone’s looking for an insult, they tend to find one. I do appreciate the purchase from VASST, but please don't assume hostility that's just not there.
 
I don't see how an internet board message, that wasn't even directed at you, by a person that I have never even heard of, cause you to go through all that striffe. I think people need to understand that posts like these get blown way out of proportion. DOes it matter to us that someone gets turned off from the DVX because some other guy, somewhere out there says F#$% you? NO. WE are all happy with the camera, and if you choose not to find out for yourself, and base your decision on something completely non camera related, that is your own decision. There are thousands of people out there who own a DVX and have never heard of this site, or don't care to participate.
If your looking for a camera, don't base your purchase on how an internet group works, otherwise your going to be royally screwed. ALl I can say is don't go to the sony group, becasue they are just as wired and offensive to "outsiders" as some of the people on this site.
If you choose to not buy a DVX soley on what someone has said, well that is too bad for you, not us. I'm not saying these things to push the issue further, I just can't seem to figure out your point of reasoning here.
 
And I, as a moderator, deleted that post, because it was insulting, abusive, and added nothing.

Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do?
