[As a *very* rough comparison, BetaSP would be more like photoJPEG at 50-60% quality.]

That is what I needed to know! Thank you guys!

Yeah, that’s what I’m reading. It’s just there are times I have a producer with me and at times we need to go through the tapes and highlights. It’s just much more convenient and better for the client or makes my job or employees job easier.
I see beta is a dying breed, but the tapes still live and yes, I probably never would make the money back on buying one, I’m paying for convenience. Well…this time around, I am renting one, but still have to pay insurance or the deck cost on the card as a deposit.

More useful info. Just thought I’d share so someone searching like me in the future won’t spend days figuring this out.

I read up on them on bcs. What I couldn’t see by specs was whether these decks output and record better quality.?
I see the PVW-2800 records to metal BetaSP tape, does that mean regular Sony Beta SPs won’t record in them?
