    If long takes to tape are necessary, i.e. in the DVC pro 50 mode, is there a way to avoid the price of a deck- that is, can the tape be read back to the P2 memory card for a file transfer to the edit station?

    1) DVCpro50 to tape is impossible, the tape only records DV ( 25)
    2) You can use the camera itself as a deck through firewire. Import your DV-clips into your NLE from tape directly with only the camera. No deck needed.

    Yeah, I thought picking up scenes from the tape to the card might be a little easier on the camera heads than an NLE. ???

    The tape unit only records DV. DVCPRO50 cannot be recorded to tape with an HVX. So this is a moot point.
