This is some test footage I shot as well as a clip from my short film retribution. If you bought this camera or thinking about it....this is the reason I did!

@Clintonman I'm sure your Panasonic Handycam is great for what you do. What i liked about this camera was the ability to go into full manual. Your consumer cameras don't give you that luxury. The price was neccessary to have that level of control over my projects.

[SHOOT4EDIT]

Absolutely! That's what I use. Check out the rest of my work. Very little is done on another camera.

Actually this is with the stock lens , no adapters, all I did was adjust the settings to be more film-esque.

It gave me the results I was looking for.

Should I buy this Camera now? Almost 5 years later?

That's exactly what we do with my grandma

Step 1: Pause in betwwen of 0:18-0:20

Step 2: Make the video quality to 720p (HD)

Step 3: Make it into fullscreen

Step 4: Press the Print Screen button

And that is my current desktop background :D

Damn that bondage scene kinda turned me on.

[DJCROOKSTV]

I agree... I guess he was trying to demonstrate low light?

@Kminatz Ah--that'll do it! :-)

@gmdinformation in the end my camera was the problem the chip was broken and the iris was stuck at f11

@Kminatz You just need to actually read up on the subject. All DV and HDV cams seem to record bad low light until you learn the basics of shooting in low light. One of the easier tricks is to set the exposure on auto and then point the cam at a darker area (often dow toward your feet) and then lock the iris. When you point it at your subject it will be much brighter now. You might have to do it 2 or 3 times till you get the exposure just right. It's all just common sense really.
