Thanks for the new resources. I had seen the http://www.stormforcepictures.com/howto-getthatfilmlook.php page before but not the others. Great write-ups. To give you (and perhaps myself) a better sense of what I want the cam for, take a look at the F.E.M. site/project http://www.foureyedmonste

Again, it depends on how you plan to use the camera. If you want to only use it for videoblogging, you may want to choose a saller/less expensive camera. However, if you plan on using it for projects/short films, the DVX is a great choice. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Bill Streeter"

I know I must be off my nut to respond to a general comment like that, but here goes... The comparison I was doing was they are about the same size and have similar abilities. I wasn't getting into a my cam is better than your cam. Both are rather point and shoot; easy to carry and if desired ca

Bill- When is a rant a rant and when is a rant an education? Perhaps the latter applies here. Points well taken. In addition, I researched what I would need to post process the 24p as 24p. Not all NLEs can handle the native format. The ones that do tend to be on the high-end. Thanks for the

This is kind of an issue with me. The DVX 100 has 24p but I find 24p to be over rated when it comes to getting a "film" look. When people talk about getting a "film" look on video they're talking about getting a film transfered to video look. The best ways to achieve this is A) to de-interlace whic

my 2 cents. i shoot video & film for a living and so have access to all manner of shiny stuff. in smaller format DV cameras the 100A is hard to beat. it basically won over all the old pd-150 holdouts, and if you want 24P it pretty much set the standard and still seems to be the best. i've d

Thanks. I currently own a Panasonic PV-GS150 which kind of matches up with your Sony. A similar size. But I have started doing "work" that needs a it more quality and manual adjustments. So I thought a 24p might provide that film - documentary look. -- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Chris

If you have the money that's a great camera. You could do a lot worse. But it also depends on what kind of stuff you'll be shooting. For personal video diary stuff most people find video enabled digital still cameras adequate. If this is the kind of stuff you plan on doing the DVX is way over kill.
