    You think a P2 Card is expensive? I started in this field with a used Arri-16s. Try buying 400′ of 16 mm color film, THEN dump more money to process it, AND STILL NOT KNOW IF YOU GOT THE SHOT!

    What you spent on your camera was a good price. But like getting a purebred dog, too bad you did not research how much it costs to feed it beforehand. In the big picture though, P2 IS reusable many times over. Think of it like a couple of cases of tape squished into your palm.

    Old thread and you probably solved this. Anyway, people are way off, man. If they don´t know, don´t say.

    Take a look at this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/827502-REG/Shining_Technology_FW1256HD_320_CitiDISK_HD_External_Hard.html

    Less dollars per GB.
