My question is what are the pros that made you want to sell the HVX and go wit the sony.
I am curious because I was about to get a par of HVX's but want to hear from an HVX user why he is switching to something else.
IMO some of the drawbacks of the HVX is the P2 cards are expensive but the cards for the sony are not that much cheaper plus you can always get a firestore for the HVX and have plenty of room.
How much better in low light is the Sony than the HVX?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I think the hvx is bad because of the p2 cards... talk about inturpting a workflow.. so with 16 gig p2 cards you can capture what 50 min of HD footage?
so now think... when doing real filming... not just talking for porn but real filming.. doc's , tv shows, movies ect ect.. you may capture 200 hours or even 300 hours (tapes) before you even start to think of sitting down and throwing it all into your NLE suite... now is it me or with the p2 cards and the ssd cards that the pmw uses... everyone has a workflow... I see the p2 cards working wonders if you can set up raid after raid after raid or drives and it may be usefull for someone like the BBC.. they have editors all over the world so to keep the footage in real time on drives like that is OK... now let me ask you this...
now you have 600 hours of HD content on harddrives and you get a failure in your drive? loose everything?
that could cost a shitload of money... say you pay 1000 bucks a shoot for the girls now you shoot it.. got it on harddrive... now what happends when that drive crashes? do you loose a shitload of scenes that could have been archived on the master HDV tape it was shot by? like right now as we speak I have shitloads of tapes sitting here for edit... and even more sittinghere that has already been edited and what not...
see what im saying? dood ive kept my fucking self up for like 3 days now on this subject for cameras... ive prolly read everything there is to read on the 4 cameras.. the pmw, the v1u the z1u and the hvx... and to be honest I have it narrowed between the v1u and the z1u ... there must bea reason that big tv networks are picking up sony cameras so I may go with those....
