Re: But is a HPX3700 Varicam "shovel ready?" for making money?

You must how some very laid back directors :) but most wouldnt trust their master piece to a local PA... !!! and the far flung destinations they dont exist anyway.

Its another hurdle... you can get people to help lump the box,s around etc.. but to be responsible for everything you,ve shot is another deal completely.You want someone you know and really trust.. as you would a loader on film.. where you,re only going to lose 10mins on an opened mag.,let alone hrs of stuff.

If Panasonic make a huge loss on the cards,then I think P2 would rule the world deservedly so.. as it is yes I agree ... drama/cheaper features/ad,s ... nice controlled environment P2 is great.
