Not so clever
I'd be interested to know how you transcoded on the go, I'm working on a feature in april with the HPX3000 and I get to handle all the P2 transfers.
My initial idea was to just copy the cards over and transfer later, but I might actually be able to capture on the fly.
Shoot me an email if you get a chance, would love to pick your brain about this:

FCP will allow you to pick in your preferences which Prores it will transcode to when you import from the cards. Regular or HQ. As far as I know it won't import in its native acquisition codec at the moment.

You would do this because 1. in order to get a fully working Red, you will spend about the same amount, 2. the workflow is an established workflow, 3. the need for color correction is limited as much can be done on the camera, so if you do not have the budget for CC @ $400 per hour, this is a good choice, 4. It is a CCD not a CMOS imager so if you want to do motion tracking, the geometry of objects will be very predictable. 5. It is a self-contained unit that allows for 1080P/24PN.
There are probably others but those are the first off the top of my head.
And these web images don't even begin to show how beautiful this footage is.
Best,

Jan,
Thanks for your comments. I'm looking at the HPX3000 for an upcoming feature. (I just finished a feature on the HVX200, and it looks great)
But why doesn't Panasonic post some full size footage somewhere? The tiny clip posted in this thread looks good, but it doesn't really give a good example.
Thanks,
Seamus

WOW!! Beautiful! I'm a director so my "DP Talk" is rusty so forgive me in advance. My feature is going into prep. And up till now I was planing on shooting on the HVX200 with a 35mm adapter. But now I don't know. How did you feel about the lens you were working with? It seems like you were able to pull off shallow depth of field really well. How does the AVCI 100mb/sec DVCPro codec bode for desktop (at home) posting? My main concerns are the best possible aquistion while still being able to post completely at home with the latest greatest MAC. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Yap. Background plates in a rolling shutter could be a real bear when you start panning the camera and your tracking markers start to lag. Which they will.

You know I really don't like to limit a camera and say that it can only do this.... (not saying you guys have said that), but at the end of the day it's all about your work flow.
I suppose to term would be it works best in this arena. It's kinda like saying a 40D is mainly for anything but print or posters (where that could be true due to it's image sizes), that does not mean it can't be pushed and then perfected. All in all like and things are what we make them out to be.
