First - shooting in DVCPro 50 - what a bonus! This would be worth the price of admission just by itself - the color reproduction is fabulous and no worries about having a DVCPro 50 deck to transfer from. For those of us shooting in both worlds this is brings a new level of quality to our existing clients.
Second - the interval or time lapse recording - since the camera is not tape basd the timelapse footage that I have shot is flawless - what a great combination, high definition and time lapse - hmmm sounds like a niche business!
All and all a great camera.
 
Nice to hear. I'm waiting for mine. I will use dvc50 also a lot I think. But I have no deck so I will be editing in dvc50 and write back to minidv. I hope the picture will still be clean and look-a-like dvcpro50.
Did you do that already. I'm curious about that.

Those are two of the biggest draws for me as well... the SD performance is amazing, and underrated compared to all the HD hoopla. As to the stop action aspect, Panasonic did this up right. It would have been so easy to have messed this up and made it useless, or have not included it at all.

A question since you have camera in hand... can you trigger the single frame grab from the remote?

Remote trigger

Remote trigger

I have not tried the remote but the buttons that are necessary to start and stop the interval process are accessible to the remote - the one shot recording might work better for what you are talking about - then you can trigger it to shoot a set interval.

In terms of down converting from DVCPro 50 - I have to output to DVCPro 25 and I have down converted and it looks great - much better than the recorded DVC 25.
 
I can see myself going into some kind of timelapse and slow mo 12 step program already.. Will be just too friggin awesome. I'm planning a trip to Europe this summer and will be doing timelapse all over the friggin place. Big Ben... Parliament kids..
