[Mike Schrengohst] “Once motion gets into the equation then HDV is a thumbs down”
But Mike, that isn’t my experience.
We shot a bunch of college basketball last weekend, and it wasn’t there.
We do have problems with a fast pan of heavily wooded and leaved trees.
But you emphasize my point. I’d like to shoot my college basketball footage with a HVX200 and a Z1U and then compare.

Thanks for the information.
These reports are interesting to me, and I guess others, because of what they do not say with respect to testing other cameras.
In other words, I would love to take a HVX200, a Sony Z1U and the Canon HDV and video the sherpherd with the frisbee, the flag, and all the other things you shot.
I don’t want specs, and graphs, and monitors.
I just want a real world comparison footage shoot with someone like or me or Noah or Ned and any the mods here.
Same footage at the same time with journeyman shooters with the three camera. Throw a A1U in there for good measure. 🙂
Jan, if you lend me the cam, I promise to return it. 🙂

[Gunleik Groven] “P2 is a known headache which one will have to learn how to deal with”
Boy, I really believe it is an issue, particularly at the current price points, and the need for achiving.
Interesting how so many people call it the best thing since sliced bread.
I’m concerned about both this exact issue, and the pricing. Pricing will no doubt change, but only if the market dictates it.
As to the comparison, I believe Adam Wilt was objective in his article. There are strengths and weaknesses of each of the 1/3 chip cameras. All require some accommodation.
Like to have the Canon Sony and Panasonic to test myself.

[reelestates] “The application is a single cheap over the counter reader (a la SD/CFcard reader) that you can plug into a G5.”
To read P2 cards, or SD or CF cards?
You can get one of the latter at most office supply stores.
A USB reader to read p2 cards has to be 32-bit. I’ve not found one.

If you are talking about a p2 card reader to USB 2, none of them being currently offered that are 32-bit, which is the requirement.
PCI PC card readers are 32-bit, but then they obviously won’t work with a laptop.

[Jan Crittenden Livingston] “Hi Scott,
Very weird, as it has worked on every MAC I have tried with that upgrade.
Best,
Jan”
I also received this error message BEFORE upgrading to 5.0.4. After that, as Jan has said, it worked without issue.
You might want to trash the FCP plist, repair permissions, make certain you have all the pro app updates.
Reset scratch disks, and try the import Panasonic P2 card command again
BTW, why is everybody using bold???

You and most of the rest of the civilized world.
Latest heard is that cameras are shipping weekly, and being allocated worldwide and stateside by region.
Very few reports from those having them.
You might try renting from evsonline. They do have a couple of cameras in LA.

People using FCP 5.0.4 and with shipping camera have reported that they have done this.

[David Battistella] “These firestore devices will make much more sense than P2 medi which is already no longer being supported in major laptop manufacturing and you could buy a ONE firestores for the price of ONE P2 card.”
Again, yes and no.
The new Apple MacBook Pro utilizes Express/34 cards which are smaller than p2 cards.
The existing non Intel 15 and 17 inch laptops, however, still will utilize a PC card slot that will accept the p2 cards.
Same with Wintel laptops.
