Panasonic AG-HCK10 HD minicam & AG-HMR10 AVC HD recorder

I have a couple of the new Panasonic HD minicams on order and they will be available to hire from the 9th of November at: www.minicams.tv

We can't wait to get these units in and I will post a full review when we have fully tested them.

Bradley Engineering HDC-100 ( HDC_100, HDC100)

I have used the new Bradley Engineering HDC_100 camera on a several shows now and have mixed views on it's capabilities, picture quality and reliability.

I will post a complete review based on my personal experiences of using this camera and control system.

Sony BRC-Z330

I am awaiting delivery of two new BRC-Z330 cameras. These will be for remote applications in studios, commentary positions and sporting events.

Combined with the Sony RM BR300 controller they will make a very cost effective remote solution.

Priced at about £3827 + VAT they offer a whole host of functions and reliability associated with the Sony manufacturers.

I am interested to compare their performance with the other Sony cameras in the BRC range, such as the BRC-300, BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700.

What interests me with these cameras is the 18X optical zoom capability, small compact size and minimized picture delay. They are also meant to have a silent pan and tilt mechanism, which is really very noisy with the BRC-300.

Should have the cameras within the week.
