The question is whether the HVX is setup in such a way that firmware updates are possible. If there’s some kind of PRAM inside the camera that a P2 card could communicate with and send software updates- that would make compression rate changes entirely possible. Please bring that question to NAB. 🙂

I suspect that depends on how steady your hands are. The slot ejector on the other P2 cameras is much less touchy than a mechanical tape assembly so if you’re good I would think it would be no problem.

Yes to both- 24p is created on 1080 similar to how 24p is created in 480 on the DVX. And you also get 60p in 720p so- full slow mo if cut with 24p footage.

Works just as well as a digital still camera- do CF cards and SD chips normally fall out of them?

I’d highly recommend buying Barry Green’s guide to the DVX- tons of useful info in there if you want to get the most out of your cam:

Peter-
I would purely speculating here but I’d imagine an SDX900 type of camera with the HVX’s specs + interchangeable lenses and beefier CCDs could be plausible at some point in the future. There could be a middle ground between the HVX and the Varicam. The lines are really getting blurred now though aren’t they? 🙂
Highly doubt it in the next year though. I’d vote go with the HVX and then you can always sell. The HVX will be in high demand for quite a few years with the amount of features it’s got. If there’s such a thing as future proof in the video world- I’d say it’s this cam.
