We pay for footage .... lets just say you have a harddrive with 15 scenes on it.. say you paid the girl a grand per scene...

now it crashes... you just lost 15k...

with tape... you have a lifetime archive....

I would look into some of the sony's that can do tapless as well as archive to tape on a deck somewhere via firewire or something......

This is why God invented RAID storage solutions.

Several of my clients are moving in the direction of tapeless and some are starting to request content on Blu-Ray. A dual format camera isn't a bad idea though. Any specific models you think I should look at?
