HD camera reliability

Recommended Posts

I'm a new video student (I can say that now that my college is offering 1 video art class :unsure: ) who happened to reciently temp as a technician for a very short while at an HDTV warranty repair center and I was curious as to the reliability of the cameras themselves as the TV's are horrific. (It's my understand the lawsuits between retailers and manufacturers has already begun)

 

Currently HDTV's (actually many flatscreen TV's) supposedly last three years and suffer mainly from overheating and damage due to fragility and dust... and poor OEM parts.

 

Do the cameras also suffer from a short lifespan? (and I not including becoming outdated :) ) What tends to break on them?

 

peace

Having shot on the Sony/ Panavision F900 many times, and working in Panavisions HD service department, I can say the cameras in my experience are reliable.

 

Of course they have problems sometimes, but thats with any gear of this nature.

 

For the most part though, the cameras are reliable.
