Avid.
Avid fully supports and edits in the native MXF file format. No ‘import’ or conversion required. The software only version of Xpress Pro HD is all you need, but their’s a clear upgrade path if you want more.
Canopus is good too, or so I hear.
If you really want to use Premiere, look into Matrox.

Circular filters are needed to work with the autofocus on digital SLR still cameras. This is probably what the camera store guy meant by a “digital filter”, but the HVX doesn’t care, so just get the less expensive linear one. We recently got Hoya filters from B&H which seem fine so far. I haven’t used them on a real shoot yet, but the test footage looks good.

Yes, I have also always had to remove the camera and laptop and run them through the X-ray machine in a plastic bin, but I have never had a problem, including a few international flights.

Great! Ignore my last post.

Hmm, the OIS problem is the camera starts trying to stabilize a pan, but once it gets to the end of it’s range, it jumps back to the center, creating what looks like a jerky pan, so I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. Without genlock, two cameras will run out of phase and at slightly different speeds making it impossible to smoothly cut from one to the other. I don’t know how your switcher is dealing with it, but if it buffers the inputs and re-syncs them with a delay, you might be seeing what happens when they drift too far and need to re-sync. Not sure, but just a thought. Anyone else???

It hard to judge without seeing it, but it could be the Optical Image Stabilization. OIS is well known for this when used with a tripod and should always be tuned off unless the camera is hand held. If that is not it, please be a little more descriptive about the ‘jump’.
One more thought, I do not have much experience with live switchers, but shouldn’t all of the cameras be genlocked?

Is this what you’re looking for?
I Googled “P2 store manual” for you and it was literally the first result.

Yes, the document in my post to Shane says the HVX-200 is accepted with the same restrictions as HDV, no more than 15%. Varicam is allowed as a full acquisition camera, but the question remain, what about the HPX-500?
