I bought a new camera recently, the start of February. I have shot two weddings with it, on the 2nd and on the 15th.
It is called the Sony PMW-EX1 and it really is an impressive piece of kit.
The one difference with this camera is that it records onto Express Cards, which are a type of memory card. Why is this posting caller “Fear”?
Well, I am used to shooting onto tape, and these original tapes would always be stored. With the new camera, the work flow is a little different. I just copy off the footage onto my hard drives, make backups of it and then wipe the cards to be used at the next wedding. If I had a wedding on the Friday and again on the following day, I would need to copy off the footage when I got home, and have them wiped for the next day.
After my first wedding with the camera back on the 2nd, I avoided wiping the cards until I really have to.
Basically, I was sitting outside the church yesterday, poised to wipe the cards. This is when the fear set in! Did I copy off all of the other wedding correctly? Even though I had double and triple checked what I was doing, that felling of fear and dread was amazing!
I suppose a small does of paranoia is a good thing!
