A single stream of 10-bit uncompressed SD video will need about 28 Mbytes/sec with audio.
For a comparison, my raid runs around 300 Mbytes/sec.

Coax is composit.

Sometimes you get what you pay for.
And remember, nothing ruins well shot video faster than bad sounding audio.

I always use a UV filter in front the lens on any of my cameras.
Consider it inexpensive protection for an expensive lens.
They can be purchased at many photo shops, or even over the internet.
The main purpose of the UV filter, is to filter out UV light rays at 400nm.
One of the better UV filters out there is the Hoya Pro 1 UV filter.
It is more expensive than some of the others out there,
but it is constructed better with higher quality componets,
like multi-coated dyed optical glass.
And the transmission curve for this filter shows an almost ideal steep straight falloff in transmission to zero at 400nm.Good Luck with your shooting!

Are you running the mics into line level or mic level inputs on the mixing console, as there is a difference in impedance.
If you are running Line level out of the mixing console,
Then have you selected line level from the audio input menu options on your DVCam unit? -
You might consider something along the lines of a wide angle lens attachment made by OpTex.

“But even the 500 does 16:9 and this one doesn’t”
They released a 16:9 model as well.
“What do you mean standard 4:3 will be around for a long time? Isn’t everyone moving to 16:9 and aren’t the tv stations required to switch over within the next year or two”
I guess you might want to read up a little about DTV.

The DSR 400 is a 4:3 standard def DVCam.
By the way, 2/3″ CCDs are a step up from 1/2″ CCDs.
And people will be shooting 4:3 standard Def video for years to come. -
I know that this is not what you wanted to hear,
but I have never liked the look of video shot with an on camera light.
