So it sounds like the Panasonic is clearly better. I work for a production company but we edit and deliver to networks. Whichever we choose, we will edit and deliver it on HDCAM. I guess we'll have to wait until Sony releases a better camera for the XDCAM format. 2/3"/422/50mbps sounds pretty good, let's just hope it happens sooner than later.

I'm a new shooter, I've been shooting on Beta for about 5 months. I've been shooting reality style TV shows and I've just about got comfortable shooting on Beta. The company I work for also shoots on HD Cam and they're looking at me as a possible HD shooter in the next couple of weeks. I'm wondering what are the biggest differences that I can expect to see from going from SD to HD? Any mistakes that others have made that I can learn from and possibly avoid? Thanks in advance.

I'm comparing a HDX900 and an XDCAM 350. It seems like the HDX900 is the better camera. Mostly shooting 1080/60i tv shows. But there is the possibilty of using 24p in the future. Will be mounting 2/3" lens on whichever camera I purchase. Any suggestions or personal preferences? Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience using the Miller Pro-Jib. I'm looking into purchasing one to support a 20 lbs camera. Any thoughts?
