Another thing about the Panasonic P2 format
Keep this in mind....
With the panasonic HVX 200 recording uncompressed output is no trivial task: it requires the ability to capture and record approximately 166 megabytes per second, or about 70x as much data as gets stored on an HDV tape. For the vast majority of users, uncompressed output is likely to be completely irrelevant. For live studio switching it could be quite handy.
HDV is really really compressed and when you render your comperssion over the P2 format you get much more noticable noise or artifact in your final output.
I have never lost a project from P2 cards and I have shot hundreds with my camera I will never use tape again I have lost a tape before they tend to drop out alot as well in important parts. Nothing worse then dropout when you are in a cumshot.
