Re: What camera do you use?
Oh sure! Fill my head with doubt!
Yeah, I know, I asked for it... And I hear what you're saying, Dave, thanks for the details and testimonial by the way. I considered the Panasonic but any of the "showdown" picture quality test I've seen online all steered me toward the Canon. Cards do make more sense to me than tapes but when I got a look at the prices of those P2 cards for their capacity/recording time what can I say? 8Gbs for 30 minutes of shooting for about $1,000... Tough sell for me - there's always the bottom line to think about. And the idea of having to transfer cards to a drive (there's another cost right there) every half-hour just didn't appeal to me. Of course if Canon comes out with some super card that can record for hours in their next model then I'll be kicking myself if I'm still using tape... But c'mon... I want a camera NOW...
The 24f vs 24p does kind of bug me too, but hey... If I wanted film I guess I'd shoot film.
I'll take the cut in HD quality for now, I guess. I know that as a special effects guy a statement like that must make your skin crawl! (Checked out your reel by the way, and I can see why all the picture quality you can get would be integral - great stuff).
Stay tuned for my ranting and complaining about all the points you just made in a few months once I've gotten my hands on the A1 despite your warnings!
