I am considering this unit to go on the back of a Panasonic AG-dp800p s-vhs camera. I was considering getting a DV camera but the cost is so high when you want 1/2 inch lenses, Anton Bauer mounts and the SD cameras are now transitioning to HD, ect. I was originally attracted to this idea when I read about the new Firestore device but it only captures DV via firewire. This unit by nNovia has a breakout cable to capture analog. It has the Anton Bauer mount.

Is this a bad idea? I really like everything about the dp800 other than s-vhs. Too bad they don't have a 26 pin connector to run the A2D directly from the camera like a VTR. Maybe they do, I sent the company an email about it.

Is Analog to digital going to be worse than straight DV?

I figure this can get me through the transition to HD over the next couple years. I need to keep the dp800 around because I need the s-vhs format for long event production.
