Maybe its hard to tell the difference between Digibeta and DVCPRO 50 but A. you can tell the difference (the viewer cant but on a subconscious level they know when something is higher quality, and B. just because you cant tell the difference between those formats it doesnt mean we’ve reached the point where you can no longer improve the image quality.
We have a loooooong way to go before we get to the point where its as good or better than the highest quality Digital Still cameras. And believe me you can tell the difference between the highest quality Digital Still and DVCPRO 50.
It IS possible to record uncompressed, and it turns out its not so hard. Check out the Drake cam.

Ok but seriously guys, what do you think blackmagic has in the works? I know we only have a matter of days to find out but its just so much fun to guess.
I know they wont let us down, surely they will have some product that will atleast really piss off AJA!
They had a big year of releases and maybe they want to just ride that out a while longer but if I know Grant hell have something to knock our socks off!!

I think your right on track with that last post michael…
The whole “P2 thing” is not a complicated mechinism. Nor is it new. Solid state media has been around for a long time, and there are a ton of companies out there making products. PCMCIA is nothing new either. Surely there will be third party companies that will develop compatible products, and you can be the prices will plummit. Connecting a relatively cheap hardrive to a PCMCIA interface is not hard, i could build one myself, and infact maybe i will. Maybe Ill sell them to all of you guys and makes lots of money! 🙂
Im searching for flights to Vegas now, I cant miss this years show!!

I think you guys are missing something. If Panasonic is releasing a prosumer camera they will have to provide the recording medium at an affordable price. Id bet were likely to see P2 cards with an increased capacity and lower price with the announcement of the cam. And it will rapidy get cheaper and larger capacities soon thereafter. Not only that but 3rd parties are bound to step in and make cheaper solutions. We’ve just stepped in to the good ol “computer world” where a slew of different companies are competing with each other. No longer are we tied to expensive proprietary systems from the manufacturer’s. D5 decks are not THAT expensive to manufacturer, if we had one in every home theyd be $1,000 🙂 Thats kind of what were being opened up to with the P2 cards. Solid State memory is massive industry serving far more people than just the broadcast industry, so that savings will trickle down to us sooner rather than later. im already putting together a portable production unit based on the P2 acquisition paradigm. Dont think your going to be limited by the cost of the P2 card reader either. Panasonic will probably charge too much for that too! you could probably build one yourself! Already have a laptop? Great! Than you already have a reader! Food for thought.
