Scott, with your budget, I'd go with one of Noah's suggestions - all of the cameras he recommends have hinged, rotating LCDs (like a camcorder). Both the 5D and 7D have fixed LCDs - so you wouldn't be able to rotate the LCD up, down or flip it 180 de | | | | |

While HDV camcorders do record 4:2:0 to tape, my understanding is that the live output via HDMI is 4:2:2. When recording to HDV, remember that the video is compressed as Long-GOP MPEG-2 at just 25Mbps. With ProRes, you are recording a visually lossle | | | | |

You can use the firewire cable to record directly into your laptop or desktop computer, if that was your question. Plus there are a couple of digital recording devices like the Sony HVR-MRC1K, but they are quite expensive...

You can use the HVR-DR60 on any camera that puts a video signal on the Firewire port. I have used mine on the Z1, PD150 and VX2000.
All that the cameras designed to accompany the Record Unit does is to send commands to the recorder from the camera | | | | |

What your paying for is stronger tape backing and better coating for less of a chance of dropouts. With DV dropouts only affect single frame. For HDV a dropout on a keyframe will loose 15 frames! (which 1/2 second at 30fps). So you want to avoid them | | | | |

Couldn't say for sure, but yes, that'd be my best guess.
Reformatting the cards in a PC would certainly be the easiest/fastest/cheapest thing to try. Would literally take about 5 seconds.
