JVC BR-DV3000, a review by Jim Harvey
Several months ago, Jim Harvey needed to acquire a small DV deck that had the capability of handling both mini-DV and full-sized DV cassettes. Having used JVC products in the past, Jim narrowed his choices to either the BR-DV6000 or the BR-DV3000. He decided on the BR-DV3000 and was so disappointed -- even after numerous attempts to work through issues with JVC's service department -- that he wanted to share his experiences with other COW members. Normally, we do not usually run stories or reviews of this nature but we've followed this story and have seen Jim attempt every possible solution in our opinion. So, we felt this review is accurate, if only in Jim's experience and some others we have seen with similar BR-DV3000 stories here at Creative Cow.

The Making of Kenya, the documentary film
In 2000, a team from Steven Galvano's organization (RCCM) traveled to Zambia and the over 20 hours of video he captured there turned into a short documentary film. Now, 6 years and three documentary films later, documenting these trips have become a central part of what he does. In this article, Steven describes his recent documentary: Kenya, The Documentary Film.

| | | | OT but what isn't around here?: JVC HDV
by Bob Cole on Jul 12, 2006 at 9:39:35 pm
in the Discrete Edit*ors Forum
I'm thinking about the JVC GY-HD100U as an interim HDV solution. Can't quite see swinging for the current generation of Sony XDCAM HD -- it looked great at NAB, but it seems like too much money for a 1/2" imager. ... | | | | |

Sony HDR-FX1 -- an IBC preview
In this pre-IBC 2004 first look, Creative Cow's Ron Lindeboom explores some of the just announced capabilities of Sony's new HDR-FX1 Handycam -- a camcorder that Sony says is targeted to give consumers "HD quality for their personal content." But many independent filmmakers who have ignored JVC's first-to-market HDV camcorders are sure to give Sony's new HDR-FX1 a second glance. Cow members attending IBC 2004 can get a first glimpse of this new Sony camcorder which is being shown in Amsterdam at the Sony booth.

Some products never make it to our shores at all.The Sony line of dual-well DV/VHS VCRs is one example of this phenomenon. In this article, Doug Graham takes a look at the the Sony WV-DR7.

Tim Kolb explores the FireStore system from Focus Enhancements. The FireStore allows camera operators to shoot directly to FireWire harddrives, allowing longer shoot times and also giving users the ability to hook the drive directly to their computers, avoiding the capture process. A real time saver.

Jim Harvey reviews Switronix Pro-X Battery System
In this article, CreativeCOW.net contributing editor Jim Harvey reviews the Switronix Pro-X Battery System and with great enthusiasm reveals, "These are awesome batteries! Short of a lens, the battery system on our cameras is probably the single biggest expense that we have. With professional battery systems costing a couple of thousand dollars we need to be able to maximize our run time while minimizing our cash outlay... For the past year or so, I have been using a battery that I am absolutely sold on. Not to be too anthropomorphic, but I'd venture to say that I 'LOVE' these batteries. They are made by a company called SWITRONIX.
