Man this Forum Rocks!!! you just saved me $75 I just convinced the Wifey to let me buy one as a christmas gift, but I am going to wait till someone else buys it so I can hear if it works. Is anyone else buying one anytime soon?

Mine should come maybe Friday or Monday, and I should have a review done a couple days after that.

i plan on purchasing 2 of the 3hr drives for a 2 1/2 hour play this spring. i'd first like to see its reliability out in the field. otherwise i will have to settle for the promax 3 hour direct drive which sells for $999 each?!!?

$679 for the 3 hr. drive is an awesome price jarred! you will actually be saving me $640 if these drives are proven reliable! i commend you on negotiating these prices!

Hey, thank MCE for giving us this generous discount, they are very interested in the performance with the DVX100 and seem like a pretty solid company.

as for field work.. it like these things almost look like they are made for the military, some hardcore armour and such so I think it may be pretty cool. there is even a clear plastic shell around the Aluminum to protect the aluminum.

It is great you are doing a review this weekend Jarred, It will determine my xmas purchase (( Unlike some of you im gonnna be in the dog house when I buy this thing so close to christmas, but it is totally worth it if it is good ))

The discount is really nice, it lets me buy the next higher model without spending much more.

Hey Jarred, you know what we have to know, so in your review please test & verify:

Does the drive record the cadence bits for progressive from the DVX, and does it pass that information on to Vegas...

Obviously the way to know is to shoot some 24P clips, then import the media into a 24P project in Vegas and check the properties. If it says "DV 24P (removing 3:2 pulldown)" then we're good to go. So please, check it out and let us know!

Thanks!

yeah im all over it..

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

YES! my wife gave the go ahead to buy one for my xmas present. Hurry up and let me know it works Jarred so I can order one before xmas.

You can use this as a removable drive as well right?

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

The 6 hour would be 85 GBs or so right? Hmm, so is this thing solid state or using the small laptop size hard drives? If the hard drives, I wonder if you can buy the cheapest version and then throw in a bigger drive in there. Because the difference between the 20GB and the 85GB is $400....

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

I'm gonna order one for use with a DVC80- I'll post my experience with it here.
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

yes good idea Steve.. it will be interesting to see if there is any differences with the DVC80.
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Steve, you'd be surprised- a quick laptod HD swap just might do the trick........but we'll leave this up to the tinkerers here to find that out!

For me- I think the 90min batt capacity makes it somewhat pointless to buy the larger unit as you'd need to get to some form of household current to charge up the internal battery and at the same time you could dump the dv files to your pc/Mac HD...so I think the 180 min QS DV is the best solution.

PS- you just gotta believe the future (2006+) HDV cams will have internal swappable laptop Hd's that are placed in a caddy and swapped as necessary by the end-user....it seems a logical progression for a digital workflow- dump tape and go full digital- that's my vote!!!!!
((Tape can be an archival means))

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

about the power thing... the Quickstream is incredible as it has a built in voltage regulator.. meaning you can put almost any voltage into the power port on the Quickstream and it will charge it.. so you could use any battery with an adapter to recharge it.

What's going to be funny is how ridiculous these separate drives are going to look in ten years.

What -- your camera didn't have a built-in 300 gig drive?
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

just look at it like cassette tapes... who the hell still uses those?
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

I've been reading alot of the tech pages on this unit & it it is mentioned several places that it is "mac os platform reliant" ...? Anyone have any idea about pc based compatability? Strange, but the drive hasn't shown up on any of the pc based onliners. Only macwarehouse, places like that ....
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

yes it works with PC. The reason it hasnt shown up probally is because it was just actually ready for shipping last week.
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Review? You said back on the 17th you should be getting one that weekend...

I've got to get something like this very soon, so I'm anxiously awaiting the good word...
