    The camera will hold two P2 cards that will store 8 gig a piece. Is this correct? That would only be about 2 minutes of record time wouldn’t it?

    16 minutes at 1080i or 720/60p. little more than 1/2 hr at 720/24p. somewhere in your math you’re probably counting bits as bytes. the hdcam stuff is 100 megabits/sec, not 100 megabytes (which would be 8 times bigger.) i’m guessing that’s what you’re doing since you seem to be off by a factor of 8. when it’s abbreviated, little “b” = bits, big “B” = bytes.

    sorry- i meant to say “dvc pro hd”, not “hdcam.” sorry, jan. but yeah, 1 GB per minute at the highest bitrate.

    I didn’t do any math. In my blind panic I just guessed!

    Thanks for the info. If you know a good plave to read up on this camera I would love to know.
