I’m not as concerned about the 24p issues that happen right now with the AG-DVX100… I’m hoping they are currently being worked on by Adobe for the next release. I’m more concerned about supporting DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, and DVCPRO formats as well as the P2 issue. I know Premiere Pro 1.5 can do 1080/60i (Sony HDV) and 720/30p (JVC HDV), it’s the other resolution/frame rates that are somewhat worrying me.

I’m still anxious to see if the AG-HXV200 has miniDV tape support or not and what the boxed package includes – ie, are we getting a P2 card with it at all?

Thanks for the link! I’m still waiting to see if “DV” means that we will get miniDV tape support, or if this will be a tapeless camera.

I was seriously considering the Sony HVR-Z1U until I read the specs (minimal as they are right now) for the Panasonic AG-HVX200. For my workflow purposes, if this camera does not have MiniDV tape support, then, as unfortunate as this sounds, I will have to turn this awesome looking camera down right away. For me, and for a lot of folks in video production, MiniDV is part of our daily workflow. Yes, this may change in the future, but in the meantime, we need to still have the MiniDV option onboard, even if we don’t utilize it on a day-to-day basis.
The production budget I work from will only allow me to have one camera at my disposal. At times I am called in to to tape a business meetings for my client archives and occasionally to stream to remote offices. For these events, they need me to shoot on MiniDV and there is no need for me not to… the tapes are cheap, I get two channels of audio, and if I ever need to grab an audio sound-byte or video clip for the web, it doesn’t look bad at all. This type of real low-budget “production” does not even come close to requiring all the HD/HDV latest and greatest.
For all the other real work I do and location shooting, yes, I will eventually want HD/HDV quality at 1080 or 720. But I need a versitile tool that will help me do my best work in any situation. MiniDV is part of this versitility and I need to still have this support as I migrate into the HD world. Anyone else feel this way?
