Will this work for HD footage?

I work in a building where there are 2 video guys in 2 different departments. The main video guy (for the whole building), and myself (specialized for one department). The main videographer just upgraded his studio to HD. We couldn't be happier.

Until last night.

I realized last night that he shoots everything with his equipment, then I edit what he's shot if it's for my department. He's just upgraded to an EX1.

Here's the specs on my MBP:
Intel Core 2 Duo
2.16 GHz
1 Processor
2 Cores
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP22.00A5.B07

Also, how will I capture the media? It's on SxS cards. I'm not familiar with that camera at ALL. Any help/guidance will be much appreciated.

Will this work for HD?

I don't have any experience with the EX-1, so take this with a grain of salt (or a handful)...

But I'm pretty sure that the SxS cards will fit right into the Express Card slot on your MBP. Have you looked through the EX-1 forum on this site? I'm sure that there is plenty of workflow discussion.

The SxS cards slide right into the expresscard slot. You'll need the free Sony clipbrowser software and you can download it from Sony. Your laptop is slightly faster than mine, and I edit my EX1 clips nearly like HDV.

You'll be fine.

Yeah I don't see a problem with your setup.
