No, I did not get any extras. I will probably get a wide angle adapter but honestly with the wide screen option enabled its plenty wide enough for what I will use it for. Regards, Paul Cotto Paul Did you happen to purchase the WD-43 and TL-43 43mm Canon lenses? If so, how well do they work? I'd be c...

It's better to just do it and beg forgiveness later. I used the 6 months same as cash option and promised to sell some of my other equipment (yeah right). Paul Cotto Yup, B&H is a safe bet. When I checked B&H Saturday night they were out of stock, probably just as well, my face would probabl...

You guys should try mplayer, I never had these problems on my PC or Mac so try another player. If your monitor does not support 1920X1080 you will always have artifacts. Viewed directly for the camera to my projector via HDMI is gorgeous. Absolutely the best video I have ever seen. I have never had ...

I use my old G4 mac mini for this. I plug it into my HDTV projector with an HDMI to DVI cable and it looks great. I have a cable box that has 1394 out so I use my Mini to record HDTV shows and play them back later.

The video looks great, no problems noted. Regards, Paul Cotto I had a bad experience with the HV-10 and would not recommend it to anyone. Hopefully the HV-20 looks better, but from what I've read, they use the same image sensor. Paul, do you get any faint vertical lines in your images? ...Just downl...

Film look! So you'll ne...

Canon HV20 24P HDV 1080P Clip

Here is a clip from my new HDV Canon HV20 camcorder. It's in HDV Quicktime 1080P format so you must have the latest version of Quicktime installed on a fast PC or Mac to view it. Sorry for you folks that dont. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=177&mo...

I looked at the design of this dolly and it seems to have a redundant fourth wheel in the rear. You could build it with only 3 wheels 2 up front to support the weight of your equipment, and one to the rear in a "T" configuration. This would cut the parts count way down making the dolly lig...
