Re: Sony Z1U versus the new Z7 Rant

Bob, what you say is good sense but I was really thinking of my own situation making documentaries single handed with a camera that has a few disadvantages. The Z7 corrects some of them. Whether the pictures are better I haven't yet heard. When you refer to "Sony's new HDCAM" I think you mean XDCAM because the full HDCAM is Digi Beta size etc etc. You are right about the better codec and I think it is nearly perfect except I can't edit that codec, the price of the cards is too high and how do we store footage on a shoot and in the period prior to editing (months sometimes in my case)?
