Re: dslr hd RAW

I would be recording in DNxHD and editing on Avid Symphony, which has a decent color corrector (though admittedly not nearly as powerful as the BlackMagic Cinema/DaVinci workflow).

Recording to the internal card on the Nikon is discarding the camera's potential as a video camera. I'm going to try the cheaper BlackMagic Hyperdeck approach first-- and see how that does. I liked the Pix 240 for the audio interface and time code features, but at $3000, it's not cost effective for what I'm doing.

$3000 would better be spent on the BlackMagic Cinema camera. It records DNxHD native. There are some videos from the camera floating around-- they look promising.

I have a D700 which doesn't shoot video. I want the D800E for studio photo/portrait work. It's one heck of a studio camera for photography. The $500 Hyperdeck is at least a starting point for video, but I'm very concerned about aliasing and moire on the 800E, which removes the aliasing filter from the camera. Great for stills, not good for video.
