Re: What camera do you use?

Howdy Folks -

Just thought I'd add my two cents to this posting. I've been in the video production business for more than 15 years now - I've used Sony and Panasonic camera's too - but my camera's of choice are all made by JVC. For SD - I use a JVC DY 300 Pro MiniDV camera - 3 chip - 750 lines of resolution - blows away the Sony PD 170 and the Canon XL's in image quality and durability. For HD - I've been using a JVD HD 100u shooting 720p with a Firestore ProHD hard drive for almost two years - pristine image quality - NO smearing or artifacts that seem to be the biggest problems in 1080 interlaced cameras. Long time Matrox and Adobe fan also - The Matrox RTX.2 rocks with Adobe Production Studio CS 3 !

P.S. - On the microphone issue - Sennheiser wireless and Audio Technica shotguns work great !
