64GB P2 card worth buying?

and not to mention a variety of firmware and other software hacks that have to be loaded into the camera EVERY TIME YOU POWER IT ON. in certain situations...
 
brandon. im all for you getting into a DSLR situation. and im not trying to talk you out of it.
but if you think its going to drop in and be anywhere near as easy to use as your hvx - you are DEAD WRONG!
 
brandon, if you go through with this and then come here next month complaining that your images look all wiggley. or that you cant get good audio, i swear im going to fly to philly, take your camera from your hands and smash it to the ground.

as mr. gump would say - "thats all i have to say about that."
 
Okay Okay I will not sell the HVx200a. I'm just lost guys. I rigged my dslr so it captures into Final Cut Pro. I knew the audio was a problem & it only captures 12 minutes at a time... But on my HVX I only have one P2 card. my DSLR I have like 500 mins in 1080HD my P2 card is 42 minutes in 720 HD. I want to get the Letus setup for my DSLR and also if I keep my HVX I want the Letus for my HVX but it's way to expensive for me.
 
64 gig worth it? You bet

I am looking into buying more P2 cards & is the 64GB worth buying I already have a 16GB so I'd have 80GB in space. I recently started to shoot in 720p/24pn, how much space would it give me?

Coming to this discussion late, and see you've been around the block and back on the camera itself. But to answer your original question, here's my experience. Can't live without a pair of 64 gig P2 cards in my 200.

I shoot exclusively in 720p/24pn for the sake of maximum storage. Principally documentary arts coverage, mostly for web or TV, not cinema screen, so I don't worry about 1080.

When I format my cards to start a new shoot, I'm good for 342 minutes live footage, 171 on each card. That gives me more than 5 1/2 hours coverage.

Blown away by the cheap prices i see quoted in this thread. If I can grab another P2 card for $750, I'd consider that ... although the suggestion of a cheap laptop for off-loading could be a practical solution too. Just more weight to lug around.
