Hello from New Jersey

Hey Jay, XL H1???, I'm green with envy. Had the chance however to compare one side by side with Sony's FX1 and was surprised at how much better a picture the Canon has. Good for you man.
BTW do you find it to be front heavy after a while of working with it?...

Jay C Masters · June 3rd, 2006, 01:54 PM

yeah this camera is sweet, I do find it to be very front heavy. That was my first impression when I held it. I'm so use to slinging my DVX 100a around..lol. That Camera is quite new to me I have a lot to learn.

Hi Jay,
i just registered two minutes ago. I'm looking for the correct doubler/scaler to link my recently checked over Canon 45 to my Acer AL 1716 LCD monitor. A stand alone box that shows me what I have, only doubled to fit the screen. This camera is used for table-top camera design set-ups on I beams and home-made steady/move equipment for a 'robotic' feedback guitar video short.
I'll settle for VGA input of monitor and composite from camera.

Hello,

Proud resident of central New Jersey USA. The unwritten rule is that you have to be born here in order to make jokes about the state lol. But seriously this is a great place for filming just because the array of landscapes, climates and cities within a 50 mile radius is really stunning. Want to practice making surfing films? Head over to the Atlantic Ocean and the miles of beaches. Need an urban environment? Go north towards Jersey City, Newark and Orange. Need farmland? Hunterdon county. Wait you need a massive forest to roam around in? Pine Barrens to the rescue (but be careful, the Pineys can be weird at times). All in all, this is a great state to get in a lot of practice shooting on a limited budget. If there are any other NJ shooters out there, make yourself heard!

Careful now, I resemble that remark! I live out in the woods near Mays Landing, which is maybe 20 miles Southwest of Atlantic City.

Welcome Christopher, there are a number of fellow New Jerseyans at DVinfo. I think you're right about the state, there's quite a diversity of landscapes and people here; it never ceases to amaze me. Just recently I was exploring New Jersey's "Western Shore" which is the area along Delaware Bay. There are some really interesting little towns there which time seems to have passed by, and some spectacular views. I'll bet most people don't even realize it exists.

Here are a few threads from others in NJ:

No you're fine :) I meant the ones waaaaaay deep in the Pine Barrens. My friend was delivering bales of hay to a farm down there when he got a flat tire. People came out of the trees throwing things at his truck and screaming to get lost. Weird.

I've never been to the western shore although many fishermen tell me its nice out there. I think I'll have to start taking exits I never stop at and just seeing what I find as I get further and further off the beaten path.

Chris,

Welcome. You're definitely NOT alone here. I'm in Essex Cty, and have relatives in Somerset Cty. When not working from home, my spouse often works in Somerset Cty. Lived in Jersey my entire life, and in my youth I lived in Bskg Rdge for almost 2 yrs after moving out of Monmouth Cty.

Do you work full time at this? If you ever find yourself in need of help, post in "Helping Hands" if you do. There are plenty of folks here from Jersey.
