Mix Sony FX1 with XL1s
Hi sorry if this has been discussed before
but as iam now using the FX1 in 16:9 how could i best get the nearest match with the XL1s, yes i know the Canon doesn't do true 16:9 and at this point in time i can't really afford a 16:9 add on lens so is there a way or could i be stuffed Many thanx Ian

Hello Ian,
This is weird, but I am in a similar situation. I am going to be shooting a concert soon. I have my XL1S and an FX1 to use. Does anybody have any advice on getting similar images out of these cameras? |

I made a test earlier this year with both these cameras and was able to match them with the colour /gamma correction tools in Avid Xpress DV.
I'll have a look to see if I've still got any frame grabs from them. Robin |

All I could find were these 4:3 images - sorry there wasn't anything else left...

Hi Robin
those 2 images look very close, its the 16:9 that's bugging me the Sony is great when you can get close, but the canon with the interchangeable Len's is a must for for wildlife So what would be the best way to get the best 16:9 image from the XL1s to match the FX1 in 16:9 My idea is to use the Sony when i can get close and the XL1s when its not possible. Thanks again Ian

Ian,
I think that the only way of getting comparable pictures in 16:9 between the two cameras is to shoot all the very tight material on the Canon and utilise the 16:9 chip of the FX1 for wider or landscape shots. Robin |

Robin is correct, just dont try to cut the same length shots together. The XL2 cuts much better with the FX1/Z1. I have had BAD luck a couple times with a Z1 in crazy concert vari-light lighting.

Thanks all
Just one thing when editing (i use Edition 6.1) you can set it to capture 16:9, would you use this setting for the Canon footage Thanks again Ian

Ian,
I would think so - after all, both cameras are producing full height anamorphic pictures. It's just that the FX1 will have higher resolution. Robin |
