View Full Version : OT - looking for high end Sony equipment Leo Mandy January 23rd, 2006, 05:00 PM I am going to rent some Sony high end equipment (yes, in this case it has to be Sony). What is the best HD cam I can get? I am going to get a mic/lav as well, so any experience someone might have with that, the better. thanks Mathieu Ghekiere January 23rd, 2006, 05:40 PM The Cinealta? The F-950 or something? Actually, that's a guess, but that's the pretty most high end stuff of sony isn't it? Shannon Rawls January 23rd, 2006, 06:12 PM Leo, We can answer your question in 2 secodns if we knew what your 'primary' business for HD was. Broadcast, Features, Documentary, etc... - ShannonRawls.com Leo Mandy January 23rd, 2006, 09:08 PM Documentary, thanks Shannon. Shannon Rawls January 23rd, 2006, 09:12 PM Sony Z1U is your camera. Sorry...it took 4 minutes instead of 2 seconds like promised. Jacques Star January 29th, 2006, 12:45 PM For a documentary, your best bet would be the Sony F900 Cine Alta. It's MUCH more mobile than an F950, because it is a one piece camcorder. You're going to spend $1,000 or more per day for the rental, you definitely want a field monitor, and a lavaliere. I suggest a field mixer/soundman as well. |
