A great thanks for all of you!
First, Ed, I know that some of the HVX image isn’t as great as so many people say, but it have so many frame rate and true progressive. And we all know that we’ll finish using all of them depending on what project. And yes the DVCPro-HD codec is great. I think the same with the P2 card. It’s surely great but we rarely shoot less than 6 hours in a row. So the P2 for me is useless… If I would took the HVX I’ll have go with it’s firewire straight import into hard drive. Wich bring me to Uli Plank…
Uli I think you had me there. Why not put a Desktop in a box, a black magic on it and RAID it with a bunch of hard drive!! Plus they have a “console software” to control the camera. “That is just amazing”. I know the XL H1 lens is a really bad choice. But I’m able to buy it without it and get me a good lens. Still, the XL-1 lens don’t convince me either. Isn’t there some where an amazing XL H1 lens for me to buy? Still one question for you Uli… after trying every of them, today if you were a buyer for me witch one would you get me and with what accessories (lens for canon) ?
Alex, your decision seems so easy, I would like to be in your shoes… I know canon does 4:2:0 when compressed on tape, but I won’t use it with tape, same thing with the HVX. But I think you opened my mind here. Well, maybe not like you think. I might coupled the M2 with the XL-1 lens on the XLH1 to get rid of the worst side of canon. Well just a touht, don’t know if it can…
Thx again… Continu to feed me here, I think I’m gonna make my mind soon…
