Re: Screen shots from JAG
by Leo Ticheli on Mar 7, 2005 at 11:32:22 pm

Hi Ron,
I'm very pro Panasonic VariCam, because it makes very pretty 4:2:2 pictures at 24p and shoots at variable frame rates; it's a direct replacement for almost everything a film camera can do. I've been shooting almost exclusively with it for three years and it's served me very well; I know it's capabilities and feel I can contribute what I know to the Cow. I've been very happy with the service and tech support I've received from Panasonic as well.

By the way, I get no compensation of any kind from Panasonic; no cash, no gear, no tee-shirts, or free lunches. They did send me a cheap card around Christmas.

Just because I find fault with an interlaced HDV camera does not make me an antagonist to Sony. I believe the camera has "characteristics" that make it a poor choice for my business. It may fit well for others.

I want to make it quite clear that I am definitely not anti Sony! If anything, I'm pro Sony!

Most of the labels in my facility are "Sony" and I firmly believe they are a great company with terrific people, some of whom I consider to be "partners" in my business. I've generally found Sony's products to be robust and their service admirable. Prior to the VariCam, I shot all my video projects on a Sony Digital BetaCam camera and I still believe the images from it are superb. All our SD mastering goes to Sony Digital BetaCam decks and our linear editing is all Sony. As a disclaimer, I have received a tee shirt from Sony... no, wait, that was from Discreet... but I was taken to lunch once by my Sony Rep, and they send a much nicer card.

Best regards,
Leo
