Sony HVR-Z1U camera & HVR-M10U console HDV tape deck…

“or this little guy”
Well stated!!
I bypassed the whole HDV conundrum in my studio with this little jewel. Any clients who have HDV and want editing or dubs, I can just use this camera. It has the same tape transport as the deck! The CMOS chip is better than the three chip CCDs anyway! I also agree that the best route into FCP is through an HDV to HD-SDI converter, then just work in true HD, which FCP does fine.

If I may, two questions regarding previous postings on this thread: 1-If you decide to use footage from the HVR-Z1U as down-converted DV is the quality worse than other typical 3-chip inexpensive camcorders such as the PDX-100 or XL2? 2-The suggested work flow of up-converting from HDV to HD using a third party card will require super fast drives with enormous storage, no? Best to all, -Jason
