HVX Tape/Memory/Firewire?

[wahrez]

Hey

Thinking of switching from my beloved DVX100A to the HVX and was wondering what is the best option in terms of media when shooting to get the best/highest quality image?

Also does anyone have any contact information for Panasonic UK relating to these cameras?

Cheers

Media? If you mean tape you should know it dosen't use it for HD, only for DV, just like your DVX. If your just wanting to shoot DV then the Panasonic PQ and MQ 63 tapes are the way to go. In HD you can go P2 or direct to disk.

So with P2 you only get 16 minutes record time at HD 25p??? - Is that uncompressed?

Nope. That'd be DVCPRO HD

Wow. You can hear the glass ceiling shatter on this one.
