I must admit I'm very tempted by the SGPRO, it is literally half the price of the Lutus Extreme, and it's made in the UK so no steep import duty and worries of shipping it back should there be a...

I did a quick search on vimeo for SGPro / EX1 footage and couldn't find much.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, I've had detail turned on so far (set to 0) and it does do a good job of making the images look more detailed, I wouldn't say my footage to date looks like cheap video,...

Apples handling of the 1.8 vs 2.2 gamma issue is a constant frustration to me too. They assume that apple users will be using a 1.8 Gamma, so change the display in FCP to simulate a 2.2 Gamma. The...
