Video Processor, here I come...

Gonna need that SIMA ColorCorrector now, after experiencing the Digital 8 "blues". It's funny, you hear alot of people having trouble with overtly green video but the TRV510 has a blue tinge, especially in shadowed areas when recording in sunlight. The blue also affects the reds, making them appear magenta.

I remember when D8 first cam out I complained about them having color shifts and got all kinds of flak over it. The ones I tried had a yellowish tinge on taped scenes, even in the viewfinder. I laid it off to a faulty auto white balance.

It's not so much auto as it is fixed. The only real differences in picture quality you can envoke is through the programmed auto exposures.

Here's a new one I've tried just recently, put your camera on negative art, then turn on nightshot, making it look purple. Then lower the nightshot's shutterspeed to it's lowest setting. You'll get skinny, smeared, ghost-like apparitions when people appear on camera. Very weird. Could very possibly change the purple color in post to like a B&W...

Mordrid?

Have you thought about how useful a D/A converter the Digital8 format could be? I plugged a Canon L2 into it earlier today to "tap into" any resolution that it's Hi8 format cannot support. Nice lens, too!

All Sony DV camcorders use identical D/a converters: miniDV and D8. The format is identical.

Hey Grigory! Try the effect I mention in the above post. Have someone walk by the camera when you're recording.
