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......
