So the big question is – why don’t they update the Sony EX range to record at 50 mb/s – which is what the camera needs?
That would really boost the range. We don’t need another 1/3 inch camera.

I’d use Shotput pro software to be safe. The only time I’ve encountered this problem was when a shot was spanning two cards. The last shot of one card and the first shot of another – typically doesn’t always show up in the XDCam browser.
We’ve lost data in cards before – and found that the card was defective. It was still within a year of purchase but our local Sony office did not want to honour the warranty, claiming that it wasn’t covered (although the camera purchased with it was). After a while, they checked the card and found that it was faulty. The first sign is that it doesn’t format correctly.
I’d send the card in for checking by Sony – or change the card if it’s not a SxS card.

Why isn’t anyone using Quicktime like what JVC uses…I’m sure there are reasons. I believe Aja’s recording box grabs in pro-res.

Last time I looked at a Discovery channel deliverables guide – XDCam cameras – which were only 1/2 inch at the time were acceptable for broadcast. FYI.

The codec doesn’t bother me as long as it plays well on a machine, and yes, I agree that DVCPro HD is a great codec. Canon is undeniably the best DSLR out there but then again, a different discussion and not something we’d want to mix with the panasonic. We own a HDX 900 anyway – and like it very much.

Hi Dan
Thanks for your post. I wholly agree with you that resolution isn’t everything. Where we are – compression via satellite can be pretty awful though. I forgot about AVC-Intra 100 – and yes, when we see it on the smaller cameras, maybe it’ll be a step forward?
I enjoy Panasonic, but like many others, I haven’t been sold that P2 is the best way to go in terms of the overall workflow we have. P2 users are no doubt used to it, but I’d like to see how long Panasonic is going to be able to hold on considering that flash storage is getting faster and cheaper everyday. And I can’t help that many other buyers like myself look at certain choices as deal breakers. In running a company with many cameras and productions and hours – the easier workflow and the more ubiquitous media is the no-brainer.
Everything gets old real fast.
Cheers

The Avid specs qualify the dual quad core 2.26 with MC software only not DX – anyone running a similar config on this? Thanks

I don’t have the camera – only tested it out.
Sorry! I believe there may be improvements, but you should google or ask panasonic.

I do not own this camera and cannot advise. Use it to shoot your home movies. Thanks for sharing.

I returned the camera before shooting on the other modes. I was not interested in shooting on the other modes.
