Looking at HDV Cameras. Need advice.

Cool. This info definitely helps.

So, if I get a Hard Drive format camera, I copy the footage from camera to computer and then copy to DVD and send to the studio for editing? Teach me the process…

Is this something that will be a lot easier to manage with Apple software? I travel a lot so I only use a dumb, work provided dell laptop. If I get the appropriate software to manage the camera footage, will it work okay or take up too much space?

At the end of the day, work is paying for it so I want to do what makes sense. But I would love to be able to use it for personal (look Xander just smoked Poopra’s Supra with an SRT-4 and I have footage!!) video, and I don’t think the tape is the best in that regard.

Thanks Guys.
