Adam Wilt

Adam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC.

Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

Zacuto’s Great Camera Shootout ‘08

Side-by-side test clip shot with everything from an HVX200 to 35mm

Zacuto (the folks in Chicago who make those mix’n'match camera support systems, as well as selling and renting camera packages) have put together a video comparing “35mm motion picture, RED, EX3, HVX200, HPX170, HPX3000, Sony EX3, Nikon D90, Canon 5D Mark II, Letus35 Ultimate and Elite DOF adapters, RedRock Micro and more.” They shot a test of a single scene with all of these combinations, and discuss the results.

If the embedded video isn’t working, or if you only see the small thumbnail,  it’s available at http://vimeo.com/2437826

If you want to cut to the chase, the test description is at 5:20, and the minute-long comparison footage starts at 6:24.

Interesting, eh?
