I'm really considering the Z150, but would like to get my hands on one first. But living in small town, it's next to impossible driving to a store and playing with any pro equipment. Looking into maybe renting one, but haven't found a vendor that has the Z150 available to rent out.

Correction!!!
The X70 DOES give up it's flip out LED screen when recording in 4K AND putting out a SDI/HDMI signal. Only data appears on the screen....no video.
I was going on what my partner told me from his experience. He was wrong. Shortly I will try it myself to see what it does when recording in HD. Very sorry for the erroneous statement. |

Re: Advice
Thanks Nate! That might be the way to go.
Though now I'm re-thinking my video cam research, as I've just read that Paul's Z150 lens is broken! Going to check out the DVX200 forum...

Re: Advice
Personally, I find the DVX200 VERY interesting (albeit a bit heavy perhaps...). Especially since they revamped the color science with the firmware update. I think the footage from that camera looks quite good, and the sensor and lens combo hit a certain sweet spot.

Re: Advice
If you can afford it I'd go with the FS7. It's nearly as good as an F5 and in some respects better. Either that or a second hand F5. (Not FS5).
Esp if you consider yourself an artist the FS7 is really fully featured, its a pro camera and it can be teamed with a bunch of different lenses and the colour,while not ARRI is right up there. I'm still shooting with an fs700 and an odyssey 7q+ and that combination is excellent too but the internal recording is average. |

Re: Advice
I am back to using my Z150, cannot get it to replicate the problem. Sony says 1 year parts AND labor, so i will just run it until it starts misbehaving again. The Z150 is by far my FAVORITE Sony small form factor camera!

Re: Advice
I have spent a LOT of time studying the Sony cameras and have settled on the Z150. Very few negative comments but lots of positives.
Now where did I hide my piggy bank? |
