Sorry, maybe I don't understand what you are saying. I am aware that if you record to the onboard deck you are recording an HDV signal. It's my understanding, however, that if you send the signal out through the SDI connection to a (say) D5 like Lucas or Rodriguez or Billups do, then you are getting an uncompressed signal (though, perhaps not the same quality that Lucas/Billups/Rodriguez do). I am certainly aware that if you record to the onboard deck you are getting an HDV signal (which a friend who has a Sony HDV cam loves).
Thank you Steve House for the ballpark figure. If that is anywhere close to the reality then it seems it would make more sense to rent the cam.
