Mark Allen Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hi - I'm doing a half day instert shoot for some elements on a video and need to rent a 30p DV camera. Was wondering if someone might have a suggestion of a camera to look for and maybe even a place to look for it. Thanks. (24p might be okay as well, but 30p is preference.)

Lars.Erik Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 You didn't state if you wanted 1/3" cams or 2/3" cams. On the 1/3" options, you have Panasonic DVX 100a. That's the one I know about. Don't know if PD170 has P scanning. On the 2/3" you have XDCam/IMX. This camera shoots 24P. I think it also records 30P, but not quite sure. Anybody know? You also have DVCPro. Panasonic SDX900.

Mark Allen Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 You didn't state if you wanted 1/3" cams or 2/3" cams. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True - since these are just elements that will be manipulated later - we're trying to stay cheap. the dvcpro for example would be out of the question too expensive.

Rik Andino Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well if you shooting in DV... There also the Canon XL2 which can shoot in 30P and 16x9 I believe that the JVC HD100u also shoot in 30P and 16x9 And of course there is the aforementioned Panasonic DVX100a There are three choices all cheaper than DVCPro...

Alvin Pingol Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't completely disregard 60i-only cams! I've been sold by area-based deinterlacers. They do their job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 24, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi, I imagine he's talking about any of the smart deinterlacers which will intelligently decide what's interlaced and what isn't. Since interlaced areas tend to be motion-blurred anyway, blending them doesn't have such an impact on sharpness, and areas which aren't interlaced are left alone. Free tools are available to do this.

Premium Member Peter J DeCrescenzo Posted August 24, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted August 24, 2005 I believe the Sony Z1 can record true 30p in native 16:9 when it's used in DV/DVCAM mode. But don't use its fake "24p" Cineframe mode; it's awful. All the best, - Peter DeCrescenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allen Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, no matter what I use, I have to rent it because my sony pd150 was stolen. So, I figured might as well rent what I really want. Seems like the rental on the dvx100a is $150 US in L.A.. Guess that'll do. Thanks for the tips.

I'm considering the 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Z1 24 Cinemotion and it looks similar to Nattress' G Film filter but without the interlace strobing. If you try reverse telecining in program's like After Effects, there's a definite stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
