Jody Eldred is one of those camera guys who likes to try everything — he’s gone scuba diving with the PD-100, he covered the war in the Persian Gulf in 2003 with a PD-150 for ABC News, and he recently went airborne with the Sony Z1U to get what he believes are the first true HD images shot by a skydiver.
