    AP Stylebook changes

    Looks like the new AP Stylebook is cleaning house and going towards more neutrality. Some conversational terms like "ethnic cleansing" and "Islamophobia" are going away. From their website: "Q. We are wondering why AP style just changed to discourage use of the word "homophobia." Can you please...

    Sony PMW-320 issue

    Hey all, I've noticed that after 8pm (20:00:00hrs) the date on my clips advances a day. Has anyone seen this before? I doesn't affect my workflow, just adds to the list of items that make this a disappointing camera.... bad viewfinder "glass"....no mechanical macro....camcorder-looking...

    SONY parts source?

    Hey all, I see the parts site is down, with no return in sight (despite the date listed). Where can I find parts for my DNW-9WS BetaSX? Ebay is out of the question. I'm looking for the plate on the handle that my light screws into. Thanks!

    Edius 6 consolation

    Somebody please tell me there is hope. All the nuisance things about E5 I hoped would be fixed in E6..... are worse. The lag, the destination drive errors, using SxS files, working on the timeline..... What do other Belo stations use???

    Different viewfinder

    Howdy all, Anyone shooting with Sony's PMW-320/350? I'd like to know if I can ditch that viewfinder and use the b&w widescreen viewfinder from my BetaSX? I know it's not HD, but I really didn't trust and like the EX3-style contraption. Thanks!

    Kudos to helpful photog!

    Joe D'Addese from WTNH got a mention by helping clear a path for a blind dialysis patient to get to treatment. "Every now and then, you have to stop reporting on a story, and just help out." says Jamie Muro. Not sure who's SUV that is though....

    1/2" HD vs. 2/3" HD with standard def lens?

    I tried to search for threads on this, but came up with nothing. What are your thoughts on this: We currently shoot BetaSX. Rumor has it that any new cameras will be the mid-grade Sonys (PMW320). I'm resisting the little 1/2" chips in favor of the 2/3" PMW350 and using our current "non-HD"...

    Chevy Tahoe

    Hey all, For quite a while, I've had my heart set on a Chevy Tahoe as a personal vehicle. Any thoughts? The front of the Yukon doesn't appeal to me. I prefer the 2000 and up models. My situation is that we have outgrown my wife's Lexus RX330. We 99% will keep it as it does it's job for her...
