"Manipulating" 60p to look like 24p, as suggested in the article, would never look right.Eugenia Lolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841412747426733061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012526088539683749.post-1315741555620598482014-04-15T19:53:29.730+10:002014-04-15T19:53:29.730+10:00Hey Daniele!

Mine is very similar to that.<br /><br />Alternatively I'd suggest a spider brace, or the "Spider steady" for a small camera like the LX7.<br /><br />- DanielDaniel Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314800582164129659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012526088539683749.post-81820299460334360312014-04-15T19:48:59.243+10:002014-04-15T19:48:59.243+10:00Hey Jillette;

Shutter speeds and aperture etc can be set on the fly in manual mode. It even has mic inputs and you can control the focus manually too. F2.0 yummy! Only downside is that you can't use the zoom in manual modeKay Stanford Jr Kastumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169015764667356696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012526088539683749.post-68112241027705599832014-02-13T21:03:10.586+11:002014-02-13T21:03:10.586+11:00Hi,

It looks really sharp and I want to be able to do the same with my videos too. But I'm a super newbie to cameras and editing. I have seen some video samples in youtube but not as clear as yours. Did you use any video enhancement tools?

It sounds like a part is loose in the camera body itself, not the lens. And it happens with and without batteries/memory card inside. It also happens whether the camera is on or not. I'm beginning to get paranoid that my camera is faulty and I should perhaps return it (because I just got it from Amazon yesterday). Does your lx7 sound like there's a loose part in the camera body? I should add that the camera works totally fine, I might just be too used to the solid build of my DSLR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012526088539683749.post-14288461027237130322013-12-02T17:33:01.788+11:002013-12-02T17:33:01.788+11:00Dude, thank you so much for this review...

I was set on the RX100 and had it in my cart ready to go decided to do one more search for a proper review and thankfully found your blog. I ended up getting both cameras just because of 2 amazing deals but if I hadn't read this review I would have missed out on the High Speed awesomeness of the LX7..

I personally haven't had any issue with it though.

Nikon has a plus of tilting screen, is it important for video work? In the past I've often used a sony videocamera looking it's monitor from above, and it was a very smart and confortable way to operate. Are you agree? Does the tilting screen useful for a beginner film maker? Tnx!

The pros and cons are (for the LX7) full HD video, 60fps (or 50fps for PAL shooters), RAW photo options, faster lens, slightly better low light performance... and no need to capture tapes. That alone makes me happy. Cons are... only 3.5x zoom (HV30 has 10x I believe, and highly compressed bitrate. Easily worked around though.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and leave a comment. :)Daniel Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314800582164129659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012526088539683749.post-91160219054217169582013-09-09T17:37:40.360+10:002013-09-09T17:37:40.360+10:00Thanks for the review.

(the Lx7 is a newer purchase and the HV30 a gift) looking for another opinion to help decide if I should sell the Canon and just stick with the Lumix. I think you've made my decision for me.
