Response to GL1 and no manual audio?????

from John Guillory (johng@guillory.ocs.lsu.edu)
I'd like to know your thinking on why you didn't go with the PD100. I'm on the fence about the PD100 and the TRV900. Here's my thinking:

First, I'm not very sure why the DVCAM format is superior to MiniDV. I understand that there are less drop frames, but the recording time is ONLY 40 MINUTES! This seems a big minus. But, is it true that DVCAM let's you add more audio tracks in post?

Also, how good is the Sony XLR cube compared to the BeaachTek audio adaptor (sits under camera). You can get the TRV900 for under 2 grand, buy the BeachTek and a good shotgun mic and you come out ahead of the PD100.

Am I cimpletely wrong? Help.

Thanks John
