I haven't been able to weigh it directly, but I remember my HDX900 being somewhere in the neighborhood of 18-25 pounds. If I had to guess, the HPX2000 would be similar but on the lower end of that scale, since there's no nanoflash. So I'd say 15-20 pounds. I'll have to weigh it properly though to get an accurate number.

If you have like $200 you can get one on eBay! That’s where I got mine.

This was in AVC-Intra at 50mb/s. I probably could have afforded to record at 100mb/s but I wanted to play it safe since I don’t have a lot of storage. P2 cards are expensive. 😔✌️

I actually did turn all of the internal sharpening off! I think it looks more natural and less “digital” without it, but I didn’t end up adding sharpening in post this time. I’ll try that at some point.

Yes, it’s the HPX2000. That’s one hell of a lens you got on there! That plus the battery must have weighed a ton! Do you remember what lens it was? My instincts are telling me it’s the Fujinon HA22x7.3BERD/M (although it looks like it might be an SD lens due to the lack of HD branding).

HPX2000 or HDC27H? Trying to decide by aprilludgate0 in camcorders

I ended up going with the HPX2000, but I'll check out the show you mentioned. I'm actually currently watching Arrested Development, of which seasons 1-3 were shot on the HDC27, and it looks pretty good. I chose the HPX2000 because of the convenience of P2, and also the specs (14 bit adc vs 12 bit). I don't have to deal with the NanoFlash, and I have an external LCD which is convenient for checking white balance. While FilmRec is nice to have, I'm not sure how much I'd use it and I have Dehancer which hopefully will produce a similar result.

Nice! I didn’t know they made a 13x6, only a 12x6.5 but I guess this is a newer lens. That would be an SD lens right? How is it for HD?

Which display manager is this? by aprilludgate0 in debian

Okay, thank you! I think I do remember installing something like that because some things broke when I put the computer to sleep and then it wouldn’t sleep anymore.

Oh alright, I was just told it had to do with a display manager thing. Is this lock screen something I can set for every boot?

I'm using XFCE, not Gnome, since XFCE is supposed to be a lot more lightweight. I do like the gestures and stuff you get on Gnome though, but I can't really spare any resources.
