Thanks, does apple host any good forums?

I have several DV cameras including a DSR-500 and none of them record at an EP or SP mode. There is DV and DVCAM, the later of which is supposed to record and play at a FASTER speed than DV, which is is odd to me because both formats are supposed to be 25mbs. But the deck you use will know if the tape was recorded in DV or DVCAM speed and will play them at the correct speed, outputting virtually the same signal to your computer, regardless.

The DSR-500 shares the same basic specs as the newer DSR-570.

Ice Pack. My Lacie heats up pretty quick but as long as I have an ice pack on top of it, it behaves itself.

I’ve got one. Just made it out of PVC and a lense hood from a dvx100.

DAMN interesting! Lots of questions but I’d like to see how this camera unfolds in the next few months. Great price it really does what they say!

OK, back to the topic…
If Panasonic made this product “too good”, they would be cannibalizing their own Vericam and 900SDX. They have to leave out options that will direct professionals, who know enough about the medium, to their higher end units or there would be no reason to purchase them. EXPECT this camera to have a lens that is very sub-par to discriminating “cinematographers”. Think about it… it’s pretty shocking that in a few months (maybe) you will be able to purchase a camcorder that records at 100mbs for under 10gs… that’s incredible, you can’t even get a stand alone 100mbs VTR for twice that! If you added up all the features on this camera ‘on paper’, you’d come up with a product that should sell for 90K, keeping in mind that a real HD lens costs 30K +. As someone who’s been involved with digital cinema since its roots, my opinion of this camera is that it is an attempt to get low budget filmmakers to embrace P2 storage.

If you’re wanting to fix the problem in your camera, look into something called Image Mapping. It will kick on the dead pixels and costs about $1200.00, as opposed to paying Sony $6000.00 for a new CCD block, and another $2000.00 for them to install it and ship it back to you.
