shot recently with the sony z7u…i’ve used this camera much more frequently this year. many reality shows are using the camera because of the improvements made on this model over the hideous sony z1. major improvements to the lens, viewfinder and the overall function of the camera has made it a viable economical option to acquire hd 1080 footage at a price that beats the more expensive f900′s and hdx 900s of the world.
also did a shoot recently with the camera that started the tiny-camera craze : the panasonic DVX100. hadn’t used this one in a while, as most people are looking to increase the quality of their acquisition formats, but it worked great as i covered a charity walk. it’s lightweight and easy to operate, which made it hugely popular with beginner videographers.
here’s me smiling at the event. man, i needed a haircut :







Hey, really enjoy your tech talk. I’m an amateur compared to you in the video world. Right now I have the basic Sony lo-def Mini-Camcorder. What would be the next step up gear-wise to get better looking images. My band is ready to conquer the world, but our videos SUCK!
PS – don’t cut the hair … it’s ready to be styled into a MOHAWK!
