100p output fried
by Michael Dunlop on Aug 27, 2008 at 12:20:27 am

Footage and audio show fine on the LCD in playback and are captured ok w/firewire. Composite video, or SVHS, and audio out to a separate monitor are totally fried. The video jumps around with vertical/horizontal hold problems and audio is truly messed up. Even monitoring w/headphone during a shoot is a mess.

Anybody have similar problems? Is it worth fixing @$130/hr or is it time to buy a new camera?

You can get an estimate first. A new camera is a major expense. That said there are a lot of HD cameras out and coming- some from Panny that would be a nice upgrade such as the HMC150:

Might be a good excuse to go for something new.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure I'll be upgrading. Any experience with Sony HDV and the Z7?

I'm not a huge fan of HDV. Especially when better codecs like XDCAM EX on the Sony side and AVCHD on the Panasonic side improve upon it.
