Sony Z1 / Z5whats the best HD camera these days for DVD production? Thinking of moving up from my old VX2100. Filming MTB and motorsports.
3 - 4k budget.
If you're talking film specific, the Z1 is up there, but even still, the Canon 7D is becoming on of the most popular cameras for filming on the market. If you were to spend money on good lenses, that would be the way to go I'd say.whats the best HD camera these days for DVD production? Thinking of moving up from my old VX2100.

No, go 5D mkII.... Full frame progressive goodness!If you're talking film specific, the Z1 is up there, but even still, the Canon 7D is becoming on of the most popular cameras for filming on the market. If you were to spend money on good lenses, that would be the way to go I'd say.
I remember looking at those quite a while ago, when I get around to actually shooting something worth while on my camera's ill put it up, they are also video film camera's not still by the way, should buy a still film cam, that would be sick!Yes reading that article there seems to be quiet a few limitations with the 5D and some of the stuff I video I can't really ask the guys to do it again.
I'm hearing you on the film camera, I have a Nikon FE, some of my photos below.

That was a great article, thanks for posting that one up.I have to say I hadn't really considered a still photo camera even though I was aware they made good video these days, my mate who does a lot of my compositing has a 5D and he has produced some nice video but I'm still not sure how easy to use these are in the field compared to a video camera.
This article sums it up I guess

I don't really think the Z1 is up anywhere, anymore.If you're talking film specific, the Z1 is up there, but even still, the Canon 7D is becoming on of the most popular cameras for filming on the market. If you were to spend money on good lenses, that would be the way to go I'd say.
Zooming is fine, although a mechanical zoom and not a servo zoom. If your aperture is high enough it will not lose focus. The biggest downside to a VDSLR for fast moving objects is the rolling shutter, which makes the image skew and wobble at speed.But what are the limitations of the VDSLR for filming fast moving objects? I need to be able to zoom in and out quickly without losing focus, from what I read the VDSLR is not capable of this?
You can fix Rolling shutter in post fairly easily now olly.The biggest downside to a VDSLR for fast moving objects is the rolling shutter, which makes the image skew and wobble at speed.
I wouldn't mind seeing itContemplating whethere to throw a demo reel up for 2010 now, or after the national series. I intend on travelling to every round and doing a lot of filming over Summer, so it be a bit of a shame to leave it out as I can really see myself getting my best footage so far, with a lot of diverse opportunities.
What do you guys think, quick throw up? Maybe a minute or so long, of the off-season in Australia?
Can you link me to any videos showing some fast moving action shot on VDSLR? I'm finding lots of videos with nice shallow DOF but those kinds of shots get old pretty quick in an action sports DVD and I also notice the shots going in and out of focus very easy.Zooming is fine, although a mechanical zoom and not a servo zoom.
