Can the HVX200 record into a HDMI/SDI recorder?

It cannot. The HVX200 doesn't have HDMI or SDI. It only has analog component output for HD.
I guess you could do it if you got some sort of analog component to SDI converter...

That really sux. Wish they had/would put hdmi so I could use my Ninja Blade on it (or whatever I have when I do get one).
AJA & Blackmagic both make Component to HD-SDI converters:

There are Component to HDMI converters too, consumer grade & much cheaper, but technically should work.
We have two BMD Component to HD-SDI converters to connect our 2 HVX cameras to our video switcher. Though I can say, switching between a HVX & a EX1, HVX looks like garbage. It was an amazing camera back in the day, but nearly everything else out there will probably give you more pleasing results.
You could use one of these converters & use a Atomos recorder, but I don't think you'd gain much over P2 cards b/c of the fact that DVCPro-HD is a pretty robust codec. SSDs are cheaper than P2 cards, so you'd have that I guess. Oh and ProRes would be full raster square pixels vs the 1.5:1 anamorphic stretched pixels from the 1280x1080 DVCPro HD codec. But the chips in the HVX are so low resolution & very noisy that you're not going to see amazing improvements like you can with a highly compressed 4:2:0 Long GOP codec.
