	Re: OT: End of Prosumer Camcorders??? by Terry Jun on Nov 1, 2009 at 4:01:15 pm in the Apple Final Cut Pro Forum I am a newbie to the video world, but I am a pro in the photo world. Let me first start by saying that: 1. The lines are blurring between the 2 camps. 2. Nothing will replace the person behind the lens. 3. Content will always beat out slick output

	Re: Something BIG is Coming from Sony 10.20.09 by Dave Burckhard on Oct 29, 2009 at 3:01:50 pm in the Sony EX Series XDCAM Forum There is huge potential for Sony to get a full frame (35mm) sensor in a real video camera at a price under $10. I don't think it's the sensor thing that is keeping Sony and others from doing so. The $10,000 barrier will be hard to move under because

The focus on the stock lens needs adjustment and I tape off the focus ring on the stock lens once I find the sweet spot. I can count on Z73 to keep all of

This adapter will give you a crop factor of 7x, meaning that your 50mm Nikon 1.4 will become a 350mm on the HPX300. You will definitely have shallow depth of field but you will need to be about 100 feet away
