Be careful with Z1's they are apparently not that good for a film look, doesn't do 24p very well despite its crystal clear resolution.
I've just got my Z1 but i've been looking at the HVX200 cameras by Panasonic, they're the business if you want that film look. But they're tapeless mind, the best film camera for that budget though, they cost exactly the same as a Z1 but you'll have to pay extra for the hard drives for storing the shots. They're expensive. You will have to get a laptop for an HVX200 though.
If you don't fancy tapeless get a Canon XL-H1 but it's 5-6 grand. If you're not bothered with Hi-Def and want a good film look get a DVX100 by Panasonic. Great little camera for starting out to make films. (Use a boom mic for it though, really noisy zoom function). You'll be able to pick that up really cheap now. Even though it's standard def it'll still look really professional.
Z1's are the best budget cameras to buy for telly and broadcasting so i've been told.

The reason i bought a Z1 is because its high def that uses tape and it's a great all-rounder work horse for getting paid gigs, the best for it's budget, it's cheaper than the Canon and it's generally the most accepted one in the TV industry, i want to make films too.

you seen 'Once' yet jimmy? that was shot on a Z1 I've only seen it on a small screen but dying to see it blown up, and also Le Donk was shot with two Z1's but as thats a Mockumentary it probably suits being shot on digital more than film

Oh aye, just saw the trailer, it looks impressive, doesn't have the same depth of field that the HVX 200 has though, do you know if there is any lenses or adapters for the Z1 that can make it look more like it's shot on film garethblower, i've got a wide angle lens but thats it.

without sounding like a boring old man, please make sure you do a huge amount of research before you go blowing a lot of cash on a camera that you possibly don't make the most of, or know how to use properly! Also when it arrives I recomend risting going nuts straight away and having a really good read through of the manual.. it sounds dull, but honestly it really will help you make the most of your camera and fully understand exactly what your doing whilst using it!  |
