Business decisions can be very difficult these days but XDCAM HD has been one that I have not regretted making.

Having used the F350 & U1 products extensively for a wide variety of jobs, (Commercial, Industrial, Broadcast, Docudrama & Theatrical Trailer) and having collected a fair number of pics along the way, I thought it may prove useful to some folks to put together a relatively short review from a commercial / small business viewpoint.

It covers subjects, from challenging environments, camera protection, air travel, chromakey, lightweight rigs, format delivery issues, and what clients think.

This is not a technical review, plenty of those about by folks better placed to discuss those matters than I am. Just lots of pics and common sense stuff for every day use.

WOW!!! Very nicely done Stewart. And some great pictures from the tools at work.

Keep up the good work guys!

Hi Ivan -

Thanks for that, hopefully it will be of help / interest to those who are looking for a solid workhorse solution needing to meet a range of commercial needs.


WARNING: Don't attempt this at home - discs inserted wrong way round! :-)

Many thanks Rick -

Who has kindly reminded me that it may be prudent to change 2 of the pics because the discs are inserted the wrong way round... don't ask how that happened.... we had a laugh about that one. We will replace the 2 pics in a few days, wouldn't want to cause confusion ... :-)
