by Tim Frick

Panasonic just announced the release of a new solid-state tapeless HD camera that capitalizes on the success of its popular DV-based AG-DVX100. We just replaced our DVX100 with the Sony PMW-EX1, also a solid-state tapeless HD camera.

The magical tubes of the interwebz will no doubt be flooded with comparisons between the…

Report from HD Expo at Navy Pier

by Ben Simmons

In early June I went down to the HDExpo at Navy Pier to check out what’s new in the world of high definition video technology. What I found were the usual sneak peak of freshly picked products: HD games, multiple HD camera simulations, all-HD editing set-ups, and a lot of smiling people telling whoever would listen why their brand is the best. I must say, I found many of the gizmos fascinating, but the drone of the crowd and faux sparkle…
