Best Camera to use

[Tony]

Budget, post and distribution are the questions you need to ask your clients before they are willing to commit to any HD flavor.

That all said one market may be more HDCAM entrenched whereas another might be dvcpro HD and yet another none of the above.

So I recommend buying every single camera and HD flavor just so you are covered for that one day job where a clients needs some unknown format or camera.

Just kidding do the market research in your specific “backyard” first before committing to any brand, model or format.

I read that OCC,the most watched program on Discovery is now shot with HDX900,before with Varicam.
So I guess the HDX 900 is considered DVCpro HD,and so ok for Discovery at least.

Sometimes it might be down to the production company,and whether they would have to rent in a player for the HDX 900.If they are set up for HDCAM.
