I was just wondering if anybody had an idea of how much rental houses will rent out a P2 card for? I don't like the idea of dragging a hard drive around when I shoot run and gun outside. However, 16 minutes is not going to be enough record time. If I could rent a couple of P2 cards and get maybe an hour worth of recording, that might be okay. 60 minutes will be roughly 8 P2 cards for highest quality 1080 24P. But if each card rents for $100 a day, then it's not worth it. Can anybody weigh in on the subject?

Rush at EVSOnline has already said that he'll be carrying P2 cards for rent. I don't know if the pricing is locked in, but you could ask him directly, rush at evsonline dot com.

Plus 8, in Burbank, CA is a great rental house of Panasonic gear, I rented the Varicam from them, they were very helpful, even gave me a free downconversion to Digibeta on the spot. I would speculate that they would rent them out.
