    Michael, I think by mentioning BD he means Blu-Ray rather than Broadcast Definition.

    Yes! BD = Blu Ray. All I produce are BDs and DVDs, Event Videography, so no Networks, Internet, I-Pads, etc.. And the nano
    Flash, mentioned above, works spendidly at 4:2:2 100 Mbps, Long GOP -I still simultaneously record SxS cards for backup just in case, but have never had to use them, as my nano works flawlessly. It also qualifies the EX1 (and similar) for BBC, Discovery and otherwise. And otherwise, with the resolution loss over the Internet, cable, etc., my customers are just not interested in anything but BDs (and for those still living in the last century), DVDs, unless they’re watching sports.

    I just want to add that the reason I choose to redundantly record is we simply won’t know when we will reach the end of the life expectancy of our recording media. I archive all of my media on separate drives so why wouldn’t I record to 2 separate sources. It just makes good sense as the Nano Flash uses affordable compact flash media and so does the EX with SDHC media.

    There will come a day when someone posts here with their SxS cards failing. As I’ve said in other posts the Nano Flash makes the most sense financially to me when looking at the overall camera/quality package.

    I believe any/all of you EX users should be seriously considering the Nano Flash as a necessary part of your package.

    Good Luck
