I am selling my Sony PDW F800. Its a great camera and its in great condition.

Please see http://www.broadcastav.com.au/used-products/21-high-definition/904-f800-ready-to-shoot.html or contact me directly.

This camera comes with the software key and WiFi adapter which allows the camera to stream proxy-quality video and audio, as it is captured, to a dedicated application on a laptop computer or smartphone via Wi-Fi. From the device, metadata can be added to the video.

Because we are a VERY small production company, shooting mainly documentaries of wildlife and natural history for television companies like National Geographic, PBS, Discovery Channel, etc., and we are going to have to use our "own" funds to buy a new camera, it now comes down to what we can afford for our purposes.

 

We can wait no longer for the Scarlet, so it is now a decision between the RED-One and the Sony PDW700 Camcorder.

 

Considering taxes, since we live in California, the cost of the RED-One is now more than the Sony (with the exception of a color viewfinder for the camcorder). Considering the 2/3" sensor of the Sony vs. the full frame RED-One, the Sony would suit our needs better because we can use our specialty Super16 lenses, etc., and since we only shoot for television anyway.

 

At this point, the ONLY advantage I can see for the RED-One is that it comes with a color EVF.

 

I would greatly appreciate anyone's input, opinions, advise, and recommendations about the benefits or drawbacks of these two cameras.

 

Thanks.

I own both a Red One and a Sony F800. I used to have the 700 camera. THe Red and the F800 I use on completely different types of work. The F800 (700) is great for corporate, TV work. The Red I use when I shoot TV Ads, music videos and short films etc.

You can get a colour Viewfinder for the 700. I own the color VF and love it.

Feel free to contact me to discuss.

Regards, Tim.

This is a great forum that I read for great info and I don't really want to be deleted ! Hope this keeps me here too ! Thanks Tim.

Does anyone use the scene files on the Panasonic AJD910 DVCpro50 cameras. Anyone got some setup that you would like to share with other 910 users ?
