I have decided to purchase the Sony EX3 and have several questions I hope someone can help me out with on both the production and post production side of things.
1. I would like to have a decent sized LCD HD monitor in the field 17'' min and a case to go with it.
2. What is the best way to off load the SXS cards. I do a lot of interviews! Laptop & external hard drive?
3. What is a good inexpensive matte box?
4. Is there a wide angle lens available yet?
5. Best choice for batteries, Sony or Anton/Bauer?
On the post side I will be editing in FCP 6.0.4 on a intel mac 2 x 3.2 Ghz quad core w/8GB
I was thinking of going with the AJA ioHD as I will need to still use Beta Sp & DVCAM source tapes from time to time. Most of my work will be output for DVD or compressed for the web.
1. How do I monitor HD video out of FCP and what is a good monitor to do so?
2. What is the best way to import the footage from the EX3 into the computer?
3.What is the best way to archive footage?
I know that this is a lot to ask but I hope someone out there has been through this before and can share the lessons learned.
Thanks in advance.
