mike-

thanks for the above link

i ordered a dvd from panasonic and look forward to screening for information.

though i’m no early adaptor and i don’t buy 1st generation of nearly anything: cars, computers or cameras, because of my tax situation, i’m hoping the hvx200 will be out in calendar year 2005.

again thanks

be well

scott/rennie/barry-

thanks for sharing your expereince and thoughts.

i’ve decided not to purchase a dvx100a

barry-perhaps its my getting to these creative cow boards late, but i can’t seem to find a statement/source about the hvx200 which states that it will record sd to tape. i thought that the only options were either p2 or firestorm-like drives. any other info would be helpful.

if the hvx200 would shoot 30 & 24p sd onto a minidv i would be quite interested in that camera.

at this point in the evolving hd world, most of my resources and needs are squarely sd. (then again, i said that about 3/4″ and betacam)

any thoughts if the hvx200 will be available by the end of calendar year 2005. (tax purposes)

my fallback position will be the dvx100b. are they in the stores yet?

barry-will your book be shipped w/the dvx100b? hope so. if not, who can we email to “suggest” that u be included?

be well

i’ve used the manfrotto 503 and the 501 and liked them

i thought the prices at b&h were a bit better than the above link.

be well

scott-

it was my understanding that the hvx200 was not tape based.

is there a link where i can research more than i know?

if so, minidv or dvcpro.

again, i’ll ask: would u buy a dvx100a now or …wait for the hvx200?

thanks in advance for your thoughts

be well

was hoping this forum could provide some feedback on checking out a used dvx100a.

many of us buy used equipment out of financial pressures

a stated checklist would perhaps be a resource to others aside from myself.

when i ask above, “how many hrs is too much”, how many hours does your dvx100a have?

i’m looking at a camera w/500 hrs but has supposedly been handled professionally over its lifespan.

is 500 hrs too many?

just looking for some real-world experience in buying a used dvx100a.

thanks in advance to those who care to share.

be well
