Hello guys, If I use a US Panasonic HVX 200 in 1080 24p mode would that play in the UK (PAL based) without any problems? In other words. When in 1080 mode is it NTSC or PAL? Can I get a US Panasonic and use it in the UK for 1080 stuff, or even 720 24P. Will a US bought FIRESTORE run with a UK bought PANASONIC? Does anyone have an informed answer? regards Ian

Thanks!

Grief Macgregor, your photo looks just like a Mcgregor I know in LA! Anyway, I will be using P2 and / or firestore to get the least compression and highest res. I don't know anything about the Canon HDV? Does it deliver true 24P, or does it throw away pxels like the H1 does?

Hi guys! thanks for all the advice. I neglected to say I would have been using a PAL version of the Sony, as I am UK based. But I met the VERY informed Alan Roberts (Tech guy at the BBC / and various bloggs) at the BBC the other day. And the best budget camera he recommended was the HVX200. He tests every HD camera he gets his hands on, and in some cases takes them apart. Was also the Tech advisor to the DOP's on Blue Planet, Bleak House and many more prods. You can also get his white pages and settings for many HD cameras from the BBC website. So, I'm going the HVX 200 route...Unless you know better?

Does anyone know where I can get the standard eye-piece for a Aaton LTR 16mm camera?

Try Les Bosher. he is a camera engineer in Wales UK. You can find him on the net. cheers

Does anyone know any films that have been shot on the Sony Z1 HD camera and eventually telecined to 35 mm? And what the quality is like? Or any information on the best small HD camera to get the best telecined results.?

Hello, First posting I have made. Sorry if it's in the wrong topic. I have a Aaton LTR 16mm camera but have lost the eye-piece. Does anyone know where I can get one?
