Now, a quick test you can try to corroborate this.. Just light a plain color wall (deeper the color the better) with 2 or 3 spot lights. If you tried to get an overall correct exposure on the wall, your spot lights will quickly show as white hot spots. Turn the KNEE Sat up and you will see smooth color spots. I have setup a bunch of new 350s and out of the box, I cranked the KNEE Sat to 120. So far no one has complained about it. Thierry. |

As to the $10, it would be too much like insider trading on my part. So I'll politely decline that bet. ;-) -gb- |

The info I got from the Sony Japan guy at NAB was the EX will do 1p to 60p and everything in between. No ramp capability though.
Not certain if it'll record in XDCAM HQ or not, at NAB time that seemed to be subject to change. The camera that was on show at NAB had already been used to record footage, it was no cardboard mockup. I believe several beta units have been in the field for sometime. |

I know you weren't trying to start anything, Peter. It just seems to have evolved as two tapeless formats, each of which have their loyal fans. And that always leads to debates, which then turn to heated discussions, then flame wars. At DVINFO, we try to extinguish the flame while it's just a tiny spark. As to the $10, it would be too much like insider trading on my part. So I'll politely decline that bet. ;-) *************** Fair enough, I'll drink a beer or two on you when the time is right. Believe me, if this little camera is performing as promised, I'll be the first to buy one here in Switzerland. In 2008 ;-) Peter |

I know you're not trying to start a flame war but I'm a bit worried that you may have given the casual viewer the idea that XDCam HD has some of the problems that have been (mostly wrongly) associated with HDV. |

I shot an on-stage pyro effect with the 330. An actor came down a stair. The stage is very dark. Suddenly a white pyro flash goes off. It took the MPEG Coded about 12 frames to recover from that shock. The picture is all blocky for half a second.
In 99.9% of all shot's it's not a problem. But on that particular occasion, the MPEG codec was just not able to handle the incoming signal fast enough. Peter |

Thanks for that clarification, that is an extreme test of a codec. You might like to pass it on to Sony if you haven't already.

The first project I shot with 350s was a concert with strobes going off the entire time. It was even at 25mbs, because that's all FCP could handle at the time.
Only later did I realize that those strobes going off constantly were a codec nightmare. Upon close inspection of the frames, you can indeed tell that the codec was compromised a little from it, but I never saw it until I went looking for it. In the future, I'd never shoot something like that at 25 again...but I can't say it ruined my day or anything.

In general Sony's camera Tru-Eye processing should hold such details more naturally by itself while knee saturation is something that should be used on a shot by shot basis, and then judiciously. Just my 2c. Simon |
