Hello, I'm looking for a 2 person crew with a HPX2000 or HPX300 for a shoot in Phoenix AZ on Friday September 11th. Please contact Jeff Cadge email: cadgej@verizon.net

David, Another thought on the D200 and the D70. I shoot stock for Getty images and their standards are pretty high in terms of acceptance. Last December they announced that they are accepting images shot on the D200, a 10.2 megapixel camera yielding a 26MB file. I shoot with both the D2X ($4,500.00) and now the D200 and find the D200 much lighter to carry around when shooting personnel travel photography. By shooting both the NEF (raw setting) and the basic jpeg at the same time you'll have Jpegs to view quickly on set for your lighting concerns as well as having a large file which you can later blow up pretty big for a photo show, or submit to a stock house such as Getty.

We will be shooting 24P.

Thanks for confirming my feeling, incidentally the JVC HD 100 does accept the P&S Adapter for pro lens but since this project involved a lot of hand held shooting I opted for the ENG wide zoom approach. The foundation underwriting this doc is now asking for a SD delivery, and they have a relatively low budget so my next question is, if we did go the HDV route we'll have an edited HDV master, which we would down convert for their initial SD needs. In the future if they change their minds and want a HD version how do you think the footage shot with the SDX 900 and HD lens upconverted to HD would compare to the HDV master? How has your experience been upconverting SDX 900 footage to HD? Thanks for your help. Jeff Cadge

In the near future I'm going to be shooting a doc and planning on using the SDX 900 with the Fujinon 13X4.5 HD lens. We may go out to film but most likely will master on SD (digi beta) and onto DVDs. How does this approach compare to shooting with one of the latest HDV cameras say the GY-HD100 with the Fujinon wide lens keeping in mind we would eventually down convert the HDV to SD.
