Born TWiPy
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 at 4:33PM ProLost is the Site of the Week on TWiP. If you're a first-time-visitor, thanks for stopping by! Here's a topical greatest hits to make you feel at home:
- The post that got me in is this, my tinker-toy musing of what the digital cinema camera of tomorrow might look like. Since then camera gear manufacturer Zacuto has gotten in on that game.
- But in order for all that stuff to make sense, we need camera manufacturers to get serious about this new class of camera.
- The first to do so may be Panasonic, with their announcement of the Lumix G, the first SLR-esque camera designed specifically to shoot video. Thoughts here.
- I wrote a letter to Canon asking for 24p support on the 5D MarkII.
- I wrote about RED's plans for making DSLRs obsolete.
- I explained why, as lovely as it is, Reverie looks like video, not motion picture film.
- Long ago, I preemptively praised Panasonic for the specs of the LX3. Today mine arrives from Amazon!
- At any time you can see all my posts tagged Photography or Cameras.
- On Flickr, here are my 12 "most interesting" photos, here are some of my selects, and here's my photostream.
Enjoy! I read all your comments and respond where appropriate. You can also find me at the Rebel Café, where we discuss stuff related to my book, The DV Rebel's Guide.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the LX3 first hand once you've had a chance to give it a go!
I can't wait to see what you think of the LX3 video especially compared to D90 stuff. I wonder if it has the same rolling shutter and balky manual control issues of the D90.
yeah im up in the air against the LX3 and the G10. right now the LX3 is winning for the 720p24 video in a specs sense, although the G10 has a longer throw on their lens. would love to hear your thoughts on the LX3
Yes, please post your comments on the LX3. I have been watching it's pre-order price and status at Amazon bounce around for weeks.
Yeah Stu, please post a comment on the LX3. Im on a really tight budget and cant really afford an HV30 right now but I still need a camera and a regular P&S.. would the LX3 do for cheap shorts? If not, what would you suggest I get? Thanks.
The LX3 is not gonna cut it even for "cheap" shorts." The HV30, is only http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00114PN1U/002-6158493-5501619?ie=UTF8&tag=prolost-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00114PN1U" REL="nofollow">$700 on Amazon right now. The http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CCLBSA/002-6158493-5501619?ie=UTF8&tag=prolost-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B001CCLBSA" REL="nofollow">LX3 is $478. Just how cheap are your shorts?
Too bad. My shorts are cheap, very cheap! Life at Full Sail University is very expensive for a South American like me. I guess I will have to starve and get myself an HV30. Thanks for replying Stu. By the way, is Mark Christiansen planning on releasing a new After Effects Studio Techniques book now that CS4 is out?
Hi Stu,
What are your thoughts on this camera?
Is there a way of locking the AE in movie mode?
