Hi Richard,
I’m going to shoot in India and Indonesia this early fall and have the same problem. How to manage all the datas with 2P2 and perhaps a firestore. How to be mobile and ligthweight.
What i’m thinking about is:
The new Micro PC from Sony (i’m a pc user) coming this July. A 4.5 inch pc.
An external Blue-ray drive for backup in the night.
I know that there is no FW directly on the micro Pc but on the dock.
I like to be able to put the gears in a ‘tupperware” against moisture, and in my pocket if i need to unload the P2 during shooting.
I know, it’s a weird solution, and need to be test. But i think that if the computer make the backup on a protect optical drive, verify the data and shutdown after, it allow us a few more time to sleep…
Looks like a kind of XDCam HD?
My 2 cents

Hello,
i don’t know how the hvx200 works, but i have a hvra1e (pal land) for rehearsal and location. i shoot with a Sony hdcam 750 in 25P. For 2 exhibitions, i tried to match the 2 camcorders. I put the a1e in cinegamma 2 and my DP does some tricks in his 750, and we compare on the field monitor. When i edit the footage, everything was ok; color and image size. I even prefer the “under the moon light” shot of the little hvr.
Of course, it’s hdv, with a size of 1440*1080, and a color space of 4:2:0 not 4:2:2. To edit hdv, i first digitize in Avid, export to BMD 10 bit codec, and then i could work with both footages. It’s a very cool camcorder, very light, you can shoot in a very tiny space with a lots of weird angles. I also use a century optics wide angle.
When i put a hand on the hvx200 in french Satis, i was a bit disapointed about the size, all this place for a dv tape i don’t really need… But i think i’m going to buy one, the varicam effect?
My 2 cents.
Robert
