Sony PDW 350 test

[@stormtvonline1773]

James, is this camera better than the HXR-MC2500 by specs? Also, would you recommend this for a news website?

[@jamesschoolmaster9022]

StormTV Online Yes, the PDW 350 is better. It has a 1/2 "CCD sensor, which is better than the EXMOR on the HXR-MC2500. It has 4 audio channels, BW CRT viewfinder. Using MC2500 for web reporting is sufficient! 😀

for how long do you own the pdw-350

[@jamesschoolmaster9022]

Vincent Hendriks, two years.

how did you export and ingest this, HD-SDi ?

[@jamesschoolmaster9022]

Use the Sony PDW-U1 XDCAM Professional Disc Drive

how does this camera compares to a f900 or other cinealta cameras? specs wise this camera should be in the same range as imagequality goes but i cant figure out why no one has ever used this camera or postet footage on youtube. its just not popular. why?

[@omerlikos2549]

i heard about bad noise or bad colors in the darker areas.

[@omerlikos2549]

and is there any kind of log profile available for the camera. Your image looks very 709ish and very compressed in the highlights

[@jamesschoolmaster9022]

The F350 has a resolution of 1440/1080 and has only a 1/2 "sensor. Yes, in a worse light the PDW F350 is noisy compared to, for example, the PDW 700. The image is raw as it emerges from the camera.
