I am a new member here. I was trying to figure out a good digital camera solution for myself. Due to all of the knowledge and comments here I have decided Panasonic is the way to go. I will wait until the AJ-HDX100 camera (10K) hits the shelf. I also shoot on Super 16mm film periodically. In the past I have been using DVCAM or Digibeta as a transfer medium. Because of the integration with Apple Software I would prefer DVCPRO-HD using P2 technology. My hope is a Telecine here in Burbank, CA would have a P2 deck for film transfers. Does anyone know of a place? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

Several places can transfer straight to a hard drive. Can't think of any right now. Wish I could.

I would check the bonolabs.com website out in it's entirety. It appears they're transferring directly to hard drives uncompressed in 10 bit QuickTime format. I'm not certain anyone else in the states is doing that at this time. From what I understand you borrow their drive, unload your files then ship the drive back to them. Sure saves the hassle of deck rental not to mention the tremendous cost involved with the rentals, insurance etc... I think the test drive option they offer really makes sense and allows you to check out the files and functionality before committing to a live job. I’ve noticed this is also offered in the NTSC version on the companion site bonofilm.com in either 24 fps or non 3:2 pulldown 30 fps. Hooray! No 3:2 removal hassles.

There are lots of facilities here in Burbank that can provide you with a drive or download files from your file full resolution 10bit Cineon and shoot to film. Call IVC-ask for (D)ick Millais D_Millais@ivchd.com - 818-569-4949. They are local and cost effective. You can also call E-Film or I/OFilm. If you need more suggestions let me know.
