Digital Camera Video Formats

The world of digital video and more particularly, High Definition video is much like entering the places and characters so entertainingly described by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There are P's and I's and all sorts of numbers to confuse and bemuse even the most professional videographer. Worse, impending new and higher definition formats loom on the horizon. The Decimater MD-Cross makes it easy to produce a test signal at almost any resolution up to and including 3G in almost any frame rate. It also has the incredibly valuable feature of being a test pattern generator in those same formats. It takes HDMI in, SDI in and can scale or not scale outputs to HDMI and SDI. The small display allows reasonably quick changes to any of the many parameters including superimposing text and various borders for centering and framing. It really is a dandy unit. The only thing I'd like is for them to add a second HDMI output.

In this digital age, binders like this are still important because I scan just about everything I shoot with various camera formats. It holds all of the formats, from 35mm to 8x10 film. I have an oddball sized film too, panoramic wide field negatives and positives. It is built tough for day-to day usage and is archivally durable, it's perfect.

I shoot nearly all formats, with medium format film (mostly 6x4.5) being my normal. My digital camera, Nikon D7000 has been a phenomenal piece of equipment but I decided that since my film is my career and digital is my fun toy I would dive in to the compact world of Micro Four Thirds. Shooting with the Olympus E-P5 and the OLY 17-40mm, I really wanted a fun wide lens. I decided on the Rokinon 7.5mm fisheye over the OLY pancake fisheye for the sole reason that Rokinon manual focus lenses are of the most underrated lenses on the market, at least with their offerings on the Nikon F mount market for film and digital SLR. The 7.5mm fisheye was no exception to their extremely accurate and well constructed manual lenses I quickly found at after just the first shot. This lens is so sharp and accurate with color as opposed to a large portion of fisheyes out there across the different formats. It's more than just a fun little lens, it's a sharp heavy duty monster on micro four thirds.

Universal B&W for all formats.

Reference B&W for all formats.

This Tripod I was looking forward to buying, it strongly supports my video camera and digital camera combined. ;)

The best convenience and cheaper solution for record video from your digital camera

We used this drive to capture video from multiple tape formats. The drive was formatted properly out of the box and performed perfectly.

Needed a while to try it out in different situations/!formats! Works so week between video and still! Where has this been!!! I've been looking for this (maybe I missed it?), now found my best friend for all occasions
