Greetings from Ontario Canada

I saw someone with a 24P today. I was taking pictures with my Nikon FM2T and he was videoing me taking pictures (with my Nikon FM2T). This was at Kits Beach (no, not Wreck Beach) late afternoon.

2 reasons:

* if you already have pal gear, including PAL TV
* sending footage to your loved ones in PALsville - why convert? Just shoot PAL. :-))

BBC?

Frank, did you take a picture of the guy taking a video of you while you were taking a picture of him videoing you?

Frank Granovski · April 15th, 2004, 02:23 AM

No. I only had my 50mm on. The 135 would have worked. The guy looked familar. I think I saw him at Leo's once, or somewhere.

Shooting good video isn't difficult. Shooting great video is difficult, and costly (audio, lighting). Even though I've always been into photography, I find take a good picture is more difficult than taking good video...unless I have a Nikon F5 (or Leica M7) for taking the pictures. :-))

The 3 biggest secrets to shoot good video are:

* get a decent tripod
* don't shoot into your main light source.
* use the KISS method: "keep it simple stupid."

Hi Pete, welcome aboard. What part of Ontario are you from? I am in Brockville along the St. Lawrence River south of Ottawa.

Kaleem Maxwell · August 12th, 2004, 07:24 PM

Hi! Hello! and Greetings!

I'm Kaleem Maxwell, from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (just west of Toronto). I am currently a 4th year university student studying multimedia.

Right now I run a media endevour, K-Max Media Entertainment which covers niche shows like fandom events, bodybuilding shows and more. I've recently started video services and hope to do well.

My site's URL is: www.kmaxmedia.com

My first camera was a JVC GR-DVA1 (yes, a DV camera with NO firewire... ugh) but I am now a proud owner of a Canon GL2... so now I can rule the screens muahahah!

I use a pinnacle DV500 card with Premiere 6.5. Also had experience in doing TV studio work and after effects.

Well, nice to meet everyone and hope to get to know some of you guys...

Rob Lohman · August 13th, 2004, 02:13 AM

Welcome aboard Kaleem! It's good to have you with us. Enjoy
the site and forums!

Justin Sammarco · August 13th, 2004, 08:56 AM

welcome Bud! If you need anything let me know I'm right over the boarder in Buffalo NY.

Read my intro to get an idea of what I do...maybe we can work together in the future sometime...

Kaleem Maxwell · August 13th, 2004, 09:32 AM

Sure, maybe we can work together one day. I've done web programming, so if you're looking for assistance in doing, web stuff feel free to pick at my brain.

Alex MacDonald · February 21st, 2005, 07:28 AM

Hi everybody. I am graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University at the end of the term with a BSc in biology, but my real passion lies in video production and web design. I currently own a lowish end, consumer camera (ZR60) and have decided to take just a *slight* step up and go with the GL2. I have been researching a lot, and thanks mostly to this site, i am very confident with my decision. I will be doing the customary after-graduation tour of Europe this summer, and the GL2 looks like it'll be very portable.

I have one question that I'm hoping you can answer...

I am looking on eBay for new GL2s and i've found this reseller:

<link removed by moderator>

US $2,299.99 (Approximately _C $2,832.09) gets you the GL2 along with a bunch of bonuses. I just want to know if this is a good deal or if some of you experts see something wrong with the deal. The member has a Feedback Score of 21347 and Positive Feedback of 99.2%, so I'm not so nervous about getting ripped off, just wanted to double check.

Thank you,
Alex MacDonald

Rob Lohman · February 21st, 2005, 09:11 AM

Alex MacDonald · February 21st, 2005, 09:20 AM

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Canada, how does the warranty work if i buy from a US reseller?

Dylan Couper · February 24th, 2005, 10:44 PM

If I'm not mistaken, if you buy it from the US, you will have to ship it back there for the warrenty. You'd be best to phone and ask though.

Jerry Munsie · March 14th, 2005, 09:47 AM
