  1. What settings do you recommend for camera process in the HM700?
  2. Hi Andrew, The DSLR will be sharper, but you'll get significant jellocam in high-motion content. Neither setup is ideal for shooting high-motion, because they're both CMOS-based cameras, but the HV30 will be a little better. Considering the environment you're working in, I'd recommend getting an decent, inexpensive DOF adapter (like the Jag35) that's easier to fix on your own and wouldn't be a huge loss if it got destroyed.
  3. Hi Andrzej, The camera's recording format is more important in this discussion than 1080i/720p/1080p/whatever. HDV, XDCAM EX (at least up to 35mbps), and ProRes work respectably well even back to the G5 era. I'm using a dual-core 2.3Ghz G5 and my bottleneck is usually hard drive speed, not processor. So, footage from any of the HDV or SxS Sony cams from the last several years, the JVC HD100/HD200/HD250/HM700/HM100, and the Canon HDV cams will play nicely with your system. AVCHD, though (from the Panasonic HMC150 or HPX300) -- that won't even play or transcode on PPC-based systems, but it should be ok on your system. Unless you're doing mass amounts of compositing or large multi-cam edits, your computer will be fine. Chris is right -- get at least another 1GB of RAM for FCP. Get 3GB if you plan to use Motion or Color.
