If it were my cam, I would hook you up..
the camera was rented for the project and I dont have it anymore.
I am in the process of getting my business put together and will soon be purchasing some equipment. I am not 100% sure if the hvx200 will be in my shopping list, but it might. Its a great camera, but I HATE the workflow. it does not record to tape for HD. It records to P2 cards (mini hard drive PC cards.. proprietary stuff...) you only get 20 min worth of HD footage on an 8 gig card .. and that card costs you 1500$ !!!
yikes.
it does have a tape drive for standard def stuff.. looks and acts just like the panasonic dvx100 series cameras.. super super super nice..
with the p2 cards you are constantly filming and dumping to a notebook pc or something..
not very good for any time you are running on battery power.. if you run out of space on the p2 card and you dont have a place to dump the footage.. you are out of luck.
other HD cameras record to tape.. which are just a few bucks per.. so you can carry a supply of em and change them out when needed.
