David,
Thanks for the info! At work I’ve mostly shot with large and small Sony cameras, and now full size Hitachi’s with hard drives. Each camera has its idiosyncracies but I’ve always been able to depend on the camera to record properly. Though the JVC is exactly what I want for shooting with, it seems unsettling to always wonder if you’re accurately recording what you’re shooting. Maybe I’m exagerating the problem but when you’re on a tight schedule for a client it seems risky. Hmmmmm, I may have to take another look at the EX1. Thanks for your input! This forum has been extremely valuable!
