March 2007 - Announcing the Panasonic SDX-900. We have acquired a new camera for 2007. It was time to step up and separate ourselves from all the people shooting the small DV cameras. The SDX-900 camera shoots DVCPro 25 & 50 (50 is the high-end recording). It shoots true 24p, 30p, 60i and records in native 16x9 and 4x3 aspect ratios. It is basically an electronic film camera. The image is more or less what you get by shooting and downconverting HD, which is costly. This camera and format will be a nice bridge until HD ultimately takes over. We have the complete cine' package as well in order to provide superior images & performance to our clients. Click here to see a picture.
