EX1 v using tapes on Z7U - which is more practical...
by Shane O'Brien on Jul 3, 2009 at 2:58:56 pm

Hi there,

I'm shooting a corporate project in a fairly remote location. It will be for 2 days, and I'm estimating we'll shoot maybe 6 hours of footage. I would potentially have time to load the material onto a laptop at the end of each day (or maybe once at lunch, depending how far from the camp we are). However, I don't have a MBP and would probably have to find somewhere to rent one.

I'm trying to decide whether to rent a EX1 or Z7U (using tapes). The tapes would obviously give me the longest recording time. However, I would prefer the better image produced by the EX1, and it would be nice to avoid the hassle of capturing from tapes (I have never used the EX1 before).

Given the type of project, what route do you think would be the most practical? I'm doing this project at very short notice - flying up on Monday, and needing to rent today or tomorrow - so any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
