I'm pretty green at this, but they have so many different tapes for the FX1. a lot of different miniDV as well as HDminiDV. What difference does it make if you shoot on normal miniDV og HD miniDV tapes? Thanks for any help:) :blink:

Yupp! but then my guess would be 10-12 years:) lol

A proper HD monitor is VERY important when shooting, these are not cheap but they are very essential. If I am not mistaken, 2008 is the year when HD should be standard, so after that transfer will not be needed. Its hardly needed today.. When it comes to movies, the distributors are working pretty good on placing HD projectors in all cinemas. This means that you will no longer need to transfer HD to 35 mm, but rather the opposite way! My guess is; in 5-6 years, 80% of all features made are shot on digital:) Film is dying!

Hey guys:) Maybe this has been mentioned before, but is it possible to buy a PAL version of the HDR-FX1 in the US? Or any other dig camera for that matter? (It's sooo expensive in Norway) Thanks for any help, I appreciate it!
