I would not want to go on a 50 mile forced march with this load, it is approaching heavy as it is.

Tony is packing a similar set of equipment with some different sound gear.
We are going to record sound to Camera A or the main camera, and also get  Boom and or wireless lav sound to a Zoom H4n recorder. I believe the plan is to use
Plural Eyes for syncing.

My friend, Dave Bodnar is lending me the HP small notebook PC. 
He has it set up with a Solid State Hard Drive and Ubuntu (Linux) OS.

We've tested the camera in a variety of settings and decided to shoot 29.97, 50Mbps QuickTime files. The camera will also shoot AVCHD and MP4 files as well as Stills.
The Lumix lens and some of the scene file settings together produce some pretty sharp, almost too sharp looking images. There is a lot of enhancement in the image, so we've decided on a Custom setting (Photo Style) that is -5 Contrast, -5 Sharpness, -2 Chroma and -5 Noise Reduction. 
I am getting used to the focus functions on the camera, some work through the touch screen. I like using the  50mm Nikon lens on a monopod or tripod because is seems a little easier to see the (manual) focus snap into sharpness.

We'll be doing most of the shooting in daylight, I'm told, so DoF should not be an issue. The camera performs pretty well in low light in any event and we will have fast lenses on hand.
