A good old-fashioned DIY DOF adapter test in the backyard with a Canon 24-105mm L f 4.0. It was too cloudy -as you can see- so the light was not at it's best specially under the shade of the tall trees.

Thank you Clan.
Moved me emotionally. A drama without words!
Do you take footage to your Mac in real time(playback)? because the reason stopping me to buy Canon hv30 is that it uses mini DV tapes!
How did you build your own adapter?
well, yes.. the tape plays and the computer captures. so if you have a 15 min footage it will take 15 min to capture on the computer. the computer can control the camera though, so you don't have to press rewind and play and pause on the camera itself.
with HDD camcorders you just download the footage files to the computer as if using a usb drive. But, if you are going to do some serious editing to it then you most likely have to transcode it to another file format, and that again takes time to do.
search for "HDV vs AVCHD" for more info. here is a good and simple one:
eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/09/30/hdv-vs-avchd/
as for the adapter, i used this well known tutorial:
jetsetmodels.info/pics/vh57x_tut.pdf
here is a video showing how it's done:
vimeo.com/1364714
there are 4 parts of that video, so you know it's lots of work :)
I am really grateful for your help and explanation. I found Wars between HDV & AVCHD! but i know at the end i will have to chose one.
Thanks again.
