Just seeing if anyone is still on here anymore.

I'm interested in hearing the outcome of this case. I can't imagine the court saying government cam just take anything they want and use it however they want without consequences.

The MMJ model is the final nail in the coffin for TV news.

I recently bought a Panasonic AJ-YAX800 encoder card to use with a HPX370 camera. Everything I've read from Panasonic says you can use this card with the 370 to record proxy video to a SD card. Even the menu in the 370 has the option to set up proxy video. However, when I I put the 800 card...

Who else is excited about this release? The optical zoom camera is perfect for news. 2x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom when shooting in 4k but outputting in 1080 so you get no quality loss on the digital zoom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l-_G089EHI

If you are a photog in Alaska, what camera are you currently shooting with? What do you use to keep your camera working in extreme cold conditions? We are using Panasonic HPX370's and the operating range for these cameras is 32° to 104°. Once it gets into the 0° to 20° range we start to...

Taking the chip size out of the discussion, which camera would you prefer for local news? Who has experience with either of these cameras? I know the 320 is 1/2" chips and the 380 is 1/3" but there are other factors to consider. Our station is going to be getting new cameras soon. We get...

Myself and an anchor at my station have both been victims of a new scam on eBay. Essentially you buy something and the seller marks it shipped and uses a fraudulent tracking number that will show the item was delivered even though it wasn't. Because there is a tracking number that shows the...

Looking to transfer some old Beta tapes to digital and the old BVW-70 Beta SP deck shows an error 96 message which I've read is a SV-RAM issue which I have no idea what that means. Anyone on here with experience with this error that can tell me what's going on?

Back in February I posted on here asking about shooting locations in Finland. Well, tonight the special finally aired. Our Finland trip was just part of a two night, two hour special on Oklahoma Education. Naturally, some of what we did got cut down for time but the reporter and I combined...

Anyone ever shot there? I'm going there at the end of March for seven days. I can't say what I'm working on but two of the days are blocked off for shooting scenic shots. Anyone ever shot in and around Helsinki that might have some advice on good shooting locations to get some great scenic...

Our station has purchased the P2 adapters so we can use micro P2 in our cameras, thereby eliminating the need for a P2 reader in the field with the laptops since the laptops SD card slot will read the micro P2 cards. We have a couple of 64GB Micro P2 cards. The micro P2 cards are essentially a...

RIP Bob Barry Jr. He was a great guy and always nice to everyone around him. It's a sad day in the OKC market. http://m.news9.com/Story.aspx?story=29369511&catId=112032

Camera technology is changing rapidly. With news in mind, what features would you like to see? Maybe the camera companies will read this and think about our suggestions. For our station, here's what we'd like to see: 1. Camera connects to a cloud or station server back at the station...

Anyone had a chance to use one of these yet. They are suppose to essentially be a GoPro but with night vision. I haven't seen any demo video yet but it could be a good tool if the night vision looks decent...
