I wanted to throw this out there as a discussion, because I know there are much more knowledgeable people out there than I.
What do you guys think or know about solid state drives, and how they apply in camcorders? I know the market is still way off, mainly because of price issues. But I have also heard they tend to be rather unstable. And hard to work with on a professional scale. But that and hard disk which is junk IMO, then external flash which seems to be junk too. I know they do work for some people but if your going for quailty its kinda a no brainer.
As far as I know it seems that DV is still the way to go. At least until SSD comes down in price and even then. I think most of those cameras are built for the consumer who just wants to drag and click and could care less about quality. Talk about insane file sizes, that would get expensive quick. As far as I know most prosumer cams are all HDV, with a few exceptions.
What about the professionals out there! I know I've dealt with a few news stations and they all wanted DV stuff. Has anyone had otherwise?
