UPDATE ...
Ok well .. TOny had it dead balls accurate, Jim .. You can not Tape record HD with this Cam .. HD recording is HDD based only, Iether by P2 card (2 x 20 min) or Firestore (you can stack them).
So for my needs it's just not the right camera ... I did run some tests though, I found that the Z1U was better under low light then the pana. I Alos did run some minidv record runs, cpatured them to Ppro 1.5.1 ... Cut and rendered. I found the image to be so so ... I guess I expected a higher resolution but it pretty much match it's predicessor DVX100.
However if you need a camera that shoots HD (not HDV) for under $100 000 this is the camera for you.
The client that bought this gear does have all the nessary equipment to shoot HD with, Ie: Dual G5 w/FCP HD, 4 x Firestores 100's...etc ... But for fast food porn this is a little high of set up. All that's left now really is see what projects he's got for me and determine if this workflow is nessary.
Thanks to everyone that joined in this thread. This thread was very helpful ...
