I'm selling one of my super8 film cameras, my Nikon R8. I already have a Nikon R10 and a Minolta XL601 that I use as my main cameras and the Nikon R8 has just been sitting in my camera bag so I figured it can go to somebody else who will use it more. I'm selling it on eBay and the item # is: 140354943116 and here's the direct link: My Nikon R8 For Sale On eBay thanks for looking! -seth

I think the Zacuto DSLR RapidFire is just what I'm looking for, along with the Z-Finder....but for $946 bucks? I'm not so sure... Is there any alternative to the RapidFire? Thanks in advance! -seth

Hi everybody, I'm starting to do more wedding video work with the 5DMKII. I don't want to use much slow motion, if any, but I'm sure the need will arise at some point. Has anybody been able to slow down the footage of the 5DMKII and get acceptable results? If so, what program are you using? Also, does it have anything to do with the shutter speed of the footage I'm trying to slow down? Thanks for your help! -seth

I currently have a handheld Glidecam that I use with my Sony VX2100, but I'm considering renting a vest/arm system to use with my bigger 15-pound camera on an upcoming project....Steadicam or Glidecam, it doesn't really matter to me, unless you can give me reasons why I might want one over the other. It will probably come down to price and location. I'm in San Diego and would like to find a place either in San Diego or at least So. Cal. Thanks in advance! -seth

Here's my listing on eBay. used it for a handful of weddings this past year and it's worked great, but i'm not doing as much wedding video anymore so I no longer need them. Excellent condition. Thanks for looking.

Hi everybody. I was just wondering if you knew of a place in Southern California that rents a Brevis35. By the way, I'm in San Diego. I just sent over an email to Absolute Rentals (referred to me by Cinevate), but there's got to be more than one place, right? Also, any ideas on what the rental rates are? I've been dying to try one out for a while now. Thanks! -seth

Where can I find a replacement eyecup for the Sony VX2000 camcorder?? I can't seem to find one anywhere! Thanks in advance! -seth

i got to do that recently for Desert Of Blood. Although I didn't help on set or anything (i wanted to stay out of the way of the pro's) I did take some cool behind the scenes photos and did a lot of observing of the whole filmmaking process. My eyes were opened greatly in terms of what goes on and I'm very thankful that the director Don Henry allowed me to hang out for the day.

I got to test out an HD100 today and I must say, I really liked it. A little front-heavy, but of course, the Anton Bauer adaptor will eliminate that problem. I though the focus assist feature was very cool. During regular focusing, the focus ring seemed to be almost too smooth, meaning, when I focused I had a tendency to go too far. I think that's just because I'm used to the Canon lens on my current Panasonic AG-DVC200. A little bit more time on the HD100 would get me used to the Fujinon lens in a jiffy. I was really happy with the placement of the controls, and like Benji Bakshi said, it works and feels like a full size camera - only much lighter. One question since I'm new to HDV that maybe one of you can answer, I took a MiniDV tape with me to the dealer and shot some footage outside and in the office. I made sure to switch the mode to DV instead of HDV. The rep told me I could then take that MiniDV tape containing DV footage and load it into my Premiere Pro 1.5 using my Sony DSR-11 deck without any problems. Well, when I went to view it on that deck, it just gave me a gray screen, although the timecode was still running. Any ideas?
