ScottGray 0 #1 April 9, 2008 I have seen a few video guys jumping small compact cameras for shooting stills with a bite switch. Does anyone have info on the make/model?

piahenzi 0 #2 April 9, 2008 We have a bunch of tandem video shooting with the Kodak V705 or V505 - not quite sure about the exact model nos but you can search along those lines. I know that Kodak has discontinued these models on retail level, but you can find them on ebay. One of our cam guys on our DZ modifies them for bite switch. Wide angle, flash, 5 or 7 MB depending on model. Light weight, etc. Seems to work for them. I am sure there are naysayers to everything including these choices but for the investment ( approx $285 modified), it's a pretty sweet return. DSE - I am ready for the thrashing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laszloimage 0 #10 April 9, 2008 ...yeh baby yeh!!! She's going to see me... Tonight.... I'm writing this from the hotel room already....anyway let's be serious. Thank you Pia! Scott contacted me already and sent him an e-mail. The models are Kodak V570 and Kodak V705. I'm currently looking for other possibilties since these two are discontinued. There's a few out there with 28mm view (vs. the Kodak's 23mm!!!) by Olympus, Panasonic, and Samsung. Will see... I'll post them as soon as I find I what works and what doesn't. -Laszlo- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
