Podcast: Band Pro's Michael
Bravin on the HD Business Environment
 This issue of HD Focus delves into the business
prospects for the digital camera sales and rental industry for the
coming year as the industry, and everyone else, grapples with the global
economic crisis. To discuss the topic, millimeter Senior Editor
Michael Goldman speaks with Michael Bravin, Chief Technology Officer at
Band Pro Film and Digital in Burbank, Calif. Bravin is a longtime
veteran of the HD industry, and the two converse about how the greater
economic atmosphere may, or may not, impact the HD business in the
coming weeks, months, and years.

Review
Panasonic AG-HPX170
By Barry Braverman
 The Panasonic AG-HPX170 is a potent filmmaking
tool with many compelling features. There's a built-in waveform and
vectorscope, 20 selectable native frame rates, dynamic range stretch
(DRS), 50Hz/60Hz support (with free factory service modification for
U.S. model purchases), and HD-SDI output. That's a lot of imaging and
functional prowess in a 4.3lb. package. For broadcast shooters
accustomed to top-end gear, can we benefit from an HPX170 in our travel
package and basic gear complement? more>>
