I have used CN-160 for more than a year. The unit has a very plastic feel and does not have the best workmanship. However for the price that is about $100 or maybe lesser now, I think it's still functional and good for general use whether for indoor or outdoor video shoot. It has good brightness...

Do you lens hood on it? You may want to remove it and try again.

Thanks for the post. Went to TK photo yesterday and purchased the unit at the price and offer stated above. Credit Card is acceptable with no extra charge but no extra battery.

Hi all, Like to seek opinions and advice of any good lightweight tripod for dslr video shoot as I plan to get one for family trip during school vacation. Actually I have one tripod, a free gift from purchasing my camera, but I find it unstable and a little shaky when I even start or stop the...

Bought the lens at MScolor yesterday afternoon at $440 (cash). Still have several more units on the shelf. Have taken the photo shot today with the lens on GH2. Like the bokeh and is good for portrait photos. Will shoot more video later. Anyone to share the experiences with the video on GH2. Thanks.

Very good, very good. Thought of watching it for a short while but ended up watching it all. Well done.

Hi all, I encountered two problems recently while shooting with Panasonic GH2. 1. Just a few days ago, I shoot a birthday party using GH2 with settings at 24p, iso auto and shutter speed @1/50. There are other cameras with flashes taking place too. When I view the footage, the camera...

Thanks Linse. Have tried the trial version of vegas pro 10. Now the playback of even the 1080 24p, looks pretty smooth. Also apprec all other feedbacks and suggestions given to me.

My video card is GeForce 9800GT 512Mb. Looking at the specifications, there is no indication to say it supports H.264 clearly but it has PureVideo HD technology. I also just updated the driver. However, there is still no improvement. Is Geforce 9800GT good enough? BTW, I have two hard disks (1Tb...

For short learning curve, softwares such as Corel Studio (formerly ulead), Pinnacle, Sony vegas platinum etc are good for making home and decent videos. They cost about <$200. I have used Corel studio 11 and it is very easy and intuitive. Even iMovie and Window Moviemaker can make great decent...

My PC spec is intel dual core 3.0Hz with 2GB Ram running on Win XP service pack 3. I have disabled all start-up and background programs. I used window task manager to monitor the CPU and Ram usage. When playing back in the timeline with Vegas 8 pro using SD footage, CPU usage is about 8 - 65%...

Like to know what are the good bokeh lens for GH2 for taking portrait photos. I read Lumix 20mm f1.7 is good but are there others that are comparable or better. Thanks.

Yes, MTS file can be imported to vegas for editing in my dual core PC but the footage becomes very sluggish as compared with the usual SD avi footage from my DV tape in the past. It becomes more unbearable when you apply any transition or special effects. Therefore I like to look for an...

Have checked the playback settings and they are OK to me. Later I turned off the Viera Link and the camera functions normally on playback as it ought to. Thanks.

Happy New Year to all, I am now ventured into HD editing since I just purchased Panasonic GH2 camera. I am using vegas 8 with dual core processor PC. I like to know which software is good for transcoding the AVCHD file into more editable format for my PC (without upgrading, afterall, have...
