No I understand that and I love the Panasonic Varicam as well.
I’m just being a voice of reason against the numerous posts convinced its time for tape to go.
I would love for the new Panasonic competitor to the Z1 to be a tape camcorder. I’m very disappointed that they are going this direction. I would like to buy the new Panasonic low end 24p camera but not if its P2. I’ll have to look at the Z1 and JVC.
