That's great, Doug, I'm with you on the question of renting the camera. We are a full-service production house, and really got the camera for our own projects as well.
I do, however, want to provide others who want to DP with the camera, or anyone needing a second or third HPX3000 camera unit, the opportunity to be able to hire our camera and an A.C./media manager from our staff, along with the 5 32 GB and 1 16 GB card and our P2 Mobile.
In addition, if we encounter projects requiring multiple HPX3000s, I would like to know other production houses with which we might be able to partner. We also own the Panasonic AV-HS400N 4-input HD/SDI switcher, which can output to the P2 Mobile for switched-live to P2 shoots.
So far, here in the Southeast, I know of only one other production house, Florida Film & Video in St. Petersburg, which owns the HPX3000.
Anyway, thanks for your input, it's good to know there are other production houses out there that own this outstanding camera!
