Re: Considerations and Consequences of P2 technology

Luis stated:

"Panasonic has rated the P2 cards for use up to roughly 100,000 times. That's the equivalent of 1667 60 minute DV tapes. So to compare the price of one P2 card to one tape seems to be missing the point completely."

Luis with all due respect your comparison is quite questionable given the point that a user would have 1667 individual tapes with the footage for long terms storage versus a P2 card which will be erased and recorded over time after time.

Initially it looks like P2 is an ideal solution for ENG applications given the short turnaround and limited lifespan of the material. The pricing of the cards is similar to the complaints the Avid/Ikegami Editcam product had to endure when it was released.

Until a new technology (this includes cars,cameras, computers etc) have been in the field under real world production scenarios and we receive feedback from actual end user's who can provide positive and negative feedback I personally find it is a bit premature to get excited about first generation technology.
