What about using the HVR-DR60 Hard Disk Recording Unit from Sony. You can simultaneously archive your work and also get 1080i direct to disk. The question I have here is that this is still NOT true HD but HDV right? Is there anyway to get true HD output from the Z1u or do you have to step up to JVC GY-100, 200 etc…The biggest issue I have with the HDV format is in seeing artifacts when shooting lots of movement. Anyway to get around these HDV artifacts when using products like direct to disk and AJA KONA 3?
