Hello , Thanks for your help I was not the shooter, but I have the problem now. The project was shot with Panasonic 900 in DVCpro 50 in 16:9, so it is shot anamorphic. My big worry is in fact, How I should have the master? 16:9 or letter boxed, I don´t really know the benefits or problems about this, so please, if anyone can give some advice I would very much aprreciate.

Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
So, if I am now basicly choosing between XHA1 and Z5 and the progressive mede is important for me, which one is going to look bettr or more "real" , canon 24F? or Sony Native progressive, Any big diffrence? z5 cost 1500 dolars more than A1by maltess - Café LA
Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
I have been consulting with a technitian from a professional video store. He gave a technical explanation that I can´t really put in wprds npw. But the conclusion is that , you only get real progressive when the data is not stored on tape, let´s say P2 or the sony recorder. So, the progresive is the same in A1 and Z5, or Fx 1000 if is going to tapeby maltess - Café LA

Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
you are right, since I knw by experience tapes have its owm problems too, especally when it comes to capture and spend two days doing that. I will take a look and try to learn this technique and see if is more convenient for me. The only thing is, if I want to keep the unedited material for the anything in the future, I guess I have to keep one big hard drive, is that a safe thing?by maltess - Café LA
Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
the thing is I usually make a lot of footage, In the past I did a documentary witha DVCpro 50 camara, sdx 900, I think that was the model, and I dis like 40 hours to end up with a 90 minutes documentary. Then you always have the tape in case you need to review somethingm or if you wabt to keep this for the future, since it was mainly interviews, things you dont wabt to erase even if you are not uby maltess - Café LA
Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
The thing with P2 cards is that I need to do a lot of footage, long interviews atc. and edit all that later. I think with P2 something like that would be really expensive since I would need a few, or maybe dowload everyday to the computer and make a back uo copy as wellby maltess - Café LA
Re: choosind the right camera - 15 years ago
Thanks very much for your advise. I will be shooting documentaries basicly, interviewa urban situatios, etc. mostly day time, but with night scenes as well. It does not matter SD or HD, I just think that probably MiniDV SD format is becomieng old and is better to use HDV, at the same time I have chacked Pana DVX100 wich seems affordable and a good camera.
