I need a solution for my complicated situations.
But my question would be "is Sony HVR-M15AU my solution. If not, is there any?"
Here is all my specs.
I currently shoot in Canon XH-A1s with 7D.
I shoot both in 30P, but A1s in HDV (1420x1080i) and 7D in HD (1920x1080P).
Here are two things that I am looking to do!
1. being able to duplicates from original HDV footage in miniDV tape to miniDV tape in HDV quality (whether it's 60i or 30P, copied version-->because I will always shoot in 30P).
2. being able to record 7D footage to miniDV tape in HDV mode (whether 60i or 30P on tape).

So. is Sony HVR-M15AU capable of doing all or either of my main goals?
If not, is there any other solution?
Number 2 is more important at the moment, because I don't trust external hard drive to be my trusted archival method. So I would like to make one tape copy AND other digital copy on my external hard drive.
I edit on Adobe CS4, by the way.
Thank you very much ahead of time.

Happy Halloween!

I ask because they can be almost 3 times more expensive than std DV tapes and very long term I've been using std dv tapes over and over with no problems. I bought Pannies.

Thanks for any comments,observations and experience offered.
