DVL-Digest 947 - Postings: Index Lens choice for DSR500 Sony Mini DV stock DVM60R the 20GB iBook only comes from Apple! Waveform Monitors & Perfect Exposure Lens choice for DSR500 - "Perry" From: Danny Grizzle Only you know how you work and what you might be shooting, but in my opinion, too many videographers vastly overrate two factors: the value of zoom ratio (i.e. thinking 18x is better than 12x), and the value of a 2x converter. Zoom ratios like 18x are numbers games, easy to achieve in telephoto focal lengths, but hardly useful unless considered along with angle of view. Wide angle zooms usually have shorter ratio specs, but offer much more radical change in angle of view and perspective, factors far more important from a visual & esthetic standpoint. Sony Mini DV stock DVM60R - "Perry" From: Danny Grizzle > What's the difference between Sony's PR and EX Series miniDV? > The EX has a superior Carrier to Noise ratio of about 2db over the PR I remember when digital formats were emerging, the early magazine articles claimed that it would eliminate the need for exotic, premium tape formulations. I can see how binders and drop out specs are critical, but I fail to see why S/N specification is a significant factor with digital recording. the 20GB iBook only comes from Apple! - Adam Wilt >>>] Unfortunately, the 20GB iBook only comes from Apple!!! > >>> Not true! Small Dog, for one, carries them. > > FROM SMALL DOG SITE: "Our contract with Apple limits sales of new Apple > product on the Internet to our existing customers, the members of our > Top Dog Club. If you are not a previous customer you are welcome to > purchase new Apple product at our Waitsfield, Vermont location." > > Looks like a great company -- but Apple has locked them up. Too bad. Standard Apple contractual limitation. But you don't have to buy an Apple product from Small Dog to become a Top Dawg. I bought a PowerLogix CPU upgrade to hot up my Powerbook, and now I can buy any new Apple product from the Dogs. So go buy a FireWire drive from 'em, and THEN buy the iBook to plug it into. And sign up for the "Kibbles & Bytes" Newsletter, too. Don Mayer announces some sales only in the newletter; the sales sometimes have great deals on Macs, accessories, and other stuff -- even a classic car or two has shown up! Cheers, Adam Wilt Waveform Monitors & Perfect Exposure - "Perry" From: Bruce A. Johnson >Why can't camera manufacturers build a software waveform monitor into pro-level digital cameras like the DSR-500WS?< They can. They don't. Most users wouldn't know what to do with it. I remember way back in the mists of memory a JVC camera that had a line at the bottom of the VF that corresponded to the max white level. Today, it's just zebra.
