Hi Robert Great now we are going somewhere! Is PCM on the HVX a good recording format? or the best way to record sound (mabye external recorder independent from the camcroder)? the reason I ask is that have a home theater and my DVD player has PCM and the vendor told me to set it to DTS. to me sound is really important almost more important than the picture. I watch the L.O.T.R on my system in Dolby digital EX which is good and DTS ES, the dialogue are so much clearer in DTS ES I understand that reaching that kind of sound must be out of my league. the easy thing to do is just buy a good lavalier or sennheiser and hook it up the the camera. but if I can clearly improve sound using an external recorder independent from the camcroder it would be money well spent THE QUESTION is for best results audio recording using HVX200 or external recorder independent from the camcroder Cheers neil Montreal, Canada

Hi BoB! What's with the attitude, yes I don't know much about technical that's why i ask u guys I simply ask about my possiblities for sound equipment. the camera gear was more arround 10000$ lenses, adapter, P2 batteries etc if you don't feel like helping then why reply My gear so far, tell me if it's crap - HVX200+P2 - Redrock adapter - 5 nikon lenses - DV Pro 55 Kit (lowell) - Intel 830 gHz 4 gig of ram 2X250gig harddrive - 2 dell ultra sharp 24" - Avid and Final cut , I have Mac OS on My PC dual boot now i am looking into SOUND and cam jib and also a monitor I dont feel like learning how to becoming a sound guy, I supply the equipment and the cash and put up a team togheter they will shoot the movies not me. Cheers Neil Montreal, Canada

Hi Robert I used this forum a lot to pick my camcorder now I need to learn about sound and sound equipment I will shoot a film with HVX200 + Redrock + Nikon lenses I beleive that the HVX recording sound format is PCM which i don't think is the best what are the possibilities to record very good sound cheers Neil Montreal, Canada

Thank you Brian great article! Thank you Paul! I am just trying to do my homework read a lot, ask questions here to you guys It really help making the final choice. a agree with you Paul "camera choice being a subjective one" what I do is keep score on like and dislike of professional (and the reason why) At the and one camera will come on top i will buy IT and Shoot Cheers Neil PS For Now JVC GY-HD100U + P+S Technik Mini35 + Nikon lenses sound like THE PLAN

Hi Paul Thanks for your reply for flexibility and best results (film look and possibility to transfer to 35 mm) 1) HVX200 + M2 Cinema Lens Adapter + lens OR 2) JVC GY-HD100U + just a better lens than the one on the JVC GY-HD100U you said you picked HVX why? Also if its just a question of taste by buying the JVC GY-HD100U i save the M2 adapter cost right? In regards of TAPE or P2 which will produce highest quality Cheers Neil Harris Montreal, Canada

Hi ALL! I have seen some good footage from the HVX200 using Nikon lense and I like what I saw 1) I would like to know which is better to get a Film look HVX200 or JVC GY-HD100U. 2) If I pick the HVX200 do I need a lense adapter ( Does it really improve the quality) If so which adapter and which lense would be a good bet. 3) If I pick JVC GY-HD100U which lense should i get Cheers Neil Harris Montreal, Canada

Hi David Thank you for you reply and guidance I am in Montreal Canada, buying will give us all the time we need to practice and try stuff before shooting I just read about the importance of the 2/3" CCD's and 24 fps to get closer to the Film look Do you have any suggestion other than the Panasonic SDX900 DVCPRO 50/25 Camera arround 15000$ OR LESS (to get film LOOK) and which lens would you recommend Cheers Neil By the way nice to meet you!

Hi all great forum!!!! I will shoot my first Film within the next 6 months , I know that no DV or HD will reach real film look but its cheeper to gain experience. My question: I would like to know which camera would be the closest to Film look DV 24 fps or HD 24 fps ex: DV = Panasonic AJ-SDX 900 DVCPRO 50 Camcorder HD = JVC GY-HD100U Pro-HD Camcorder So no over 16000$ US which HD or DV camcorder would get me closer to the film look Cheers Neil
