    Hello to everyone,

    could you guys advise me about what would be a good camre to edit with FC

    I want to shoot a concert with 4 or 5 small cameras and I was thinking about the sony HVRZ7U. Since this a just the time of a concert I dont need a lot of footage, so I think I can use a better format than HDV, I can record solid state, The sony has solid state but I think is HDV as well. What would be a better format than HDV than can work with FC? and what Camera? something not big like the sony or canon xl etc.

    thanks a lot for your help and best regards

    One solution is going with one of the above camera and extending them with a Atomos Ninja or a Ki Pro / Mini from AJA. Here you end up with a far better, less compressed image directly from the camera in a very FCP-savvy file-format (QuickTime / ProRes).
