Re: Necessary to reformat card?

As Adam says, do not format the card, unless you have beeen having problems with lost or corrupted files. Flash cards have a limited number of erase/write cycles, and although the manufacturer will state a (seemingly) high number in their spec., its possible for odd cells to wear out well before tha...

Re: Which Flash Memory cards to consider

The Transcend class 10 cards are known to be OK in the NX5. 16GB SDHC types are available here for as little as 16UKP.

Re: Christmas

Happy new year to everybody. (not sure if this is the first post on fohdv).

2011 looks like being an interesting year for HD video equipment. Can't wait for BVE in London, there's usually a few leaks about what is coming along in NAB.

Re: Calibrating a Monitor for Color Correction

Have you looked at the Spyder range of monitor calibrators? You don't need a professional monitor, just one that will stay the same once set.

Canon working in a new version of 5D, the mark III. Unless Canon and the other DSLR manufacturers inco...

Re: An used Sony EX1 or NX5U for me?

I have used NX5 footage on timelines that also have FX1 & HC3 material. the quality has improved in terms of definition and the noise can be lower. It isn't a match for the EX1 in terms of MTF, where detail is maintained throughout the dynamic range. Another issue is that the EX1 has both 50 and...

Stephan,

I've heard elswhere that it will come with bolt-on handles, grips etc. allowing it to be configured for a particular role. This of course will put the price up, but its that sensor that will sell it to those who couldn't even consider the F3.
