Hi ! .. I'm shooting this summer (southamerica) a production on a budget, with Epic & scarlet ... I'm planning to use the HDR process in camera so I can get a natural image , cause we are shooting at midday and need to be fast . I have some doubts , for example what happens with action scenes , fast pans, water-cascade, backlight sun , sun reflections, problems with the hdr, etc ... I was trying to find in several pages ( here, vimeo, youtube , etc ) more info of this process, but I can't find a very specific info ... somebody uses this process often ? or nobody uses it nowadays? Thanks !

ARGH!!! :o Well, my colleague Andy only paid £109 GB Pounds plus shipping via eBay for a cosmetically fine Beaulieu 4008 ZM II but I also purchased a new cell, a grip/handle and charger at over £100 GBP. After shooting two test carts without any problems (other than feeling a little odd to hold it) the whole camera now seems to have seized up and yet it was sold as tested and fully functional. By all accounts, I'm looking at somewhere between £200 to £300 for a service/repair plus the shipping/customs charges on top of that. So I've asked the seller to kindly refund £50 (and I'll keep the two Tri-X carts that came with it) and then the Beaulieu can sit on the shelf as an expensive paperweight for now. I really do hope that the seller accepts this? I fully appreciate it was cheap to start with but I will push for a possible return and a full refund otherwise. As it's all so disappointing and I've already given Andy back his £123.45 in full. Am I being fair on the seller and will it even be worth even trying to get this Beaulieu fixed later on? Bill
