That's cool that they respect religions and allow time off for different sects, although it sounds like it might be a bonus for any non-Jewish employees since they'd get both Jewish and their own holidays. :lol: I don't know. Maybe I will give them a call. Maybe not. I mean, I thought it was...

Nah, it wasn't that. The special ended on March 31st, but they were closed a few days before the end of the month for the Passover observance. Knowing I was going to order online when I knew the physical store would be closed, I emailed them beforehand to make sure I could still order online and...

I've been planning on purchasing the Panasonic AG-AC130 for awhile now (too long) and happened to notice in mid March B & H running a $300 instant savings special. I assume this was related to the Panasonic rebate of the same amount going on through the summer. This brought the price down to...

Thanks Alcove. I'll be using a camera with XLR audio inputs (Panasonic AG-AC130A). Thanks for the link too.

Thanks all for the replies. I won't be starting with skill OR a serious wireless system, so I will need something pretty basic for now. I'll initially begin capturing sound to the camera while I learn more. I was really just making sure I understood its function too. Another reason I was...

Hi all, As I retire my consumer camcorder to upgrade to better equipment, I have a lot to lean about different gear and what it can do. I was reading up on a shotgun mic that said "Use an XLRF "plug-in" transmitter to make a wireless shotgun microphone!". Can someone explain (or confirm what...

Cool, thanks so much for the help. If I am going to use the sound on the AC130, I wonder if I could use both cameras together for stationary conversations where I want to get both parties. I just don't know what kind of difference there would be in video image quality to cut back and forth. I...

Thanks again for responding. From what I've read elsewhere, I kind of figured you'd say that. I guess I was looking for a reason to begin out of impatience/excitement, but I don't want to do so if it will adversely affect the quality. So is there a huge benefit to recording audio to a separate...

Hi Jax, Thanks for the reply. I've been messing around with the Canon HF200 which has a 1/4" CMOS sensor and if I was to pull the trigger right now on something new, it would probably be the Panasonic AG-AC130 which has 3 x 1/3" CMOS sensors. Well, I certainly hope my idea will keep the...

I've been toying around with a consumer video camera for awhile to try and teach myself some general stuff like different types of shots, basic editing, etc. all while I've been outlining a documentary I'd like to shoot. I'm planning on making a purchase this fall on a more feature rich video...

Glad to hear these answers. I know that the quality of the camera does not make you any more creative, so I figured it wasn't the end of the world to shoot in SD, but it sure feels good to hear someone else confirm it. I just didn't want to shoot an entire SD movie and realize after the fact...

I've been using the local cable stations "prosumer" camera to mess around and shoot some public access tv, but I'm interested in shooting a low budget feature and I'm wondering if shooting in HD is a necessity. The camera I use does not have the ability to shoot in HD. I plan to film this...

Hello All- I was wondering about the legal use of movie trailers. When trailers get released, can websites and TV shows air them without permission? Trailers are like commercials for the movies, so I'm assuming the copyright owners would encourage responsible distribution, but I'm just not sure...
