I'm currently researching HD cameras for a possible broadcast project, and I would like to go tapeless. Using P2 or other solid state media is appealing, but I am worried about having to constantly dump the cards to a hard drive and erase the cards. What if the hard drive gets corrupted or stolen or otherwise compromised? Would we have to carry back-up hard drives with us wherever we go? What do you think of P2 vs. XDCam discs? The discs seem like a good idea since we could just pop in new discs without worrying about offloading them.
