The Zoom H2 at NAB 2010. The smaller sibling to the H4 can record two or four channel in two different directions. It would have been great for my iPhone video blogging rig.

Diane Paragas is a photographer filmmaker and blogger based out of Brooklyn NY. In her blog post titled “Tascam Dr-100 and 5d2“, she offers up an alternative to the Zoom H4N when shooting sound with VDSLR cameras.
After testing both the Tascam DR-100 and the Zoom h4n (the go to model for 5d mark II), I decided to go for the Tascam
She lists several reasons including some antidotal experiences from using both devices, but the part that really got my attention was this: … Continue Reading
PCN friend Jeremy Thomas from Hdi RAWworks, has released a great short film called Break Bread. He showed this short at the ETE Expo Canon Seminar to great reactions. He also used it to illustrate shooting sound in a workshop he taught later in the day where he brought in actor Mike Wade and collaborator Robert Lehman. They literally shot this short for $3, no joke. That is what the lunchmeat and bread cost for props (and craft services).

At $900 SRP with a lens this is an interesting camera in almost everyone’s price range. Although it is not a full frame sensor (like the 5D) it still has a sensor that is larger than traditional 35mm film prints. So, while the depth of field of video shot with this camera will not be as shallow at scenes shot with a 5D it can still achieve the “film look” as long as you are using lenses with apertures of 2 or less.
We also see the variable frame rate selection via a menu item on this camera that should make a lot of people happy (though I am still confused as to why – and that’s a snide comment, not a call for an “education” ;->). Here is the info from the product page
