Logging tapes on Panasonic 1200A

Hi there,

I'm wondering, is there any concern about tape damage when logging footage using the 1200A- or rather, is there any more concern than there would normally be with a standard definition deck? When I say logging, I mean a camera assistant making paper shotlists of all the footage on each tape, which involves a lot of starting and stopping. It was suggested that since the tape moves across the heads faster than with standard DVCAM or Beta decks, it's ill-advised to log that way using the 1200A.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot,
Joni
