"Mini-DV tapes don't require power?" Uhm- what???
With no power, DV tapes are just as useless as a hard drive, unless you're using gerbils on a wheel to power your playback.
We're just cutting some stuff Jay-Rock shot for me with his EX-1. It's gorgeous, and has given Tom some serious camera lust. He uses an HV-20 with the WD-H43, and says it doesn't even come close.
But the HV-20 is consumer gear, the EX-1 is in a whole different ballpark.
