I've fit nearly an entire day of back of the room on a 250GB in a Ki Pro recording 1080 Pro Res LT. Since I use FCP, it is great that there is no Log & Transfer before editing & that the Ki Pro hard drive is bus powered FW800. Eject the drive, plug into mac & transfer to the server.
For the 250, I love the fact that the Intra-50 of 720p24 (progressive native) is smaller than DV, so a single 64GB card will get you 5+ hours of record time. Just wow. Thats awesome. But... then you're pretty much recording HDV without the Long GOP (I'm sure some people will want to kill me for that statement), which is a huge improvement over HDV, but you're now recording 4:2:0 & you lose full raster resolution.
Both AVC-Intra 100 & 50 are big selling points for the 250, but I think there are still times when an off board recorder will work better for some people.
