Interesting thread Vid... I was just gonna ax your opinion about the HVX200. I've been looking at the Pana for a while now, but I just found out thru this thread that you can't shoot HD on the mini DV tapes. I like the idea of recording straight to a p2 card or firestore, but I'm one of those guys that likes to save my raw footage. How can I save it?
Is it possible to use an HD mini dv tape like this one...
