Sweet that means I can afford some 32's next fall maybe...

 

[David Jimerson]

Two of those will record more than two hours of 1080.

 

[Luis Caffesse]

And well over 5 hours of 720P@24fps
:thumbsup:

Those numbers are getting pretty big.


And it's right about now that P2 is clearly bypassing tape for non-stop capacity. (Not counting switching on the fly).

Heck, my laptop only has a 60GB hard drive. I totally want solid state in the next one. I wonder if P2 cards could be a bootable device...

Ya and im sure this will come at a ridiculous premium.

Ha, thats exactly what i was thinking.
I wonder if the 64 will be over 2 gs.

 

[ProfessorU]

Mmmmm. So I guess this means they won't be selling many 60GB P2 stores anymore?

That new super flat Apple Laptop is exactly that. Solid state in stead of disc.

Yeah, the P2 Store's time has passed. I view that product as a band-aid designed to get us past the tiny recording capacity of the early cards. With a 64GB card you're getting nearly three hours of 720/24p! Who needs a P2 Store now? Two cards will get you almost six hours of continuous recording.

Probably not, they're not shipping until the fall. 32's were introduced at $1650, so 64's will probably be about that same price when they're shipping. Which should put the 32 at about $900 and the 16 at about $500 sometime in the fall.

So do FS-100.
hummmmmm...... Soon I will be selling my unit (FS100).

If you don't want it, don't buy it.

I'm sure there will be plenty of 8's and 16s on the marketplace.

Isn't that sweet?

And well over 5 hours of 720P@24fps

I'm looking forward to the day when 720p will only be used for variable frame rates.

I'm looking forward to the day when 720p will only be used for variable frame rates.

I'm looking forward to the day 1080 comes out with VFR

In light of this recent news if anyone wants to sell me their useless 8gb and 16gb P2 cards send em my way.

 

[puredrifting]

Probably not, they're not shipping until the fall. 32's were introduced at $1650, so 64's will probably be about that same price when they're shipping. Which should put the 32 at about $900 and the 16 at about $500 sometime in the fall.

Barry:

Your forecast makes me smile, that will be great. I hope it is true.

barry.. do you think there is a way to update the HD on the P2store? I remember reading rumors on that. I'd love to put in a 200 gig drive... Even if its not possible will still be good to use to ingest the P2 into my macbook..

It has been a solid band-aid and I hate to see it go.. so updating it to a big drive would be awesome indeed... think it's possible?
