SD 16:9 footage
 

Foolish question perhaps...does the 200 or 250 shoot in 16:9 SD to DV tape? Will that tape play back on a Sony playback deck? Will it intercut in FCP with a 16:9 SD DV tape produced on a Z1U. Reason being, I need a second SD 16:9 DV camera for the Z1U on occasion, but would choose to purchase a 200 or 250 for all the obvious HD reasons.
Thanks, Craig

Yes, the ProHD series shoots in 16x9 SD beautifully.

... and you may playback on any miniDV device and intercut with any footage from other 16:9 cameras, but only SD stuff.

Thanks for the info
 

thank you both....that's a relief. I shoot event coverage to pay the bills and need to intercut with SD 16:9 from a my Z1U in FCP. Thanks again. I look forward to owning a 200 asap. I still have a JVC DV500 that still works like a champ. BTW I started with 3/4" using a JVC BY110-U 3 tube camera that still works but is used as a conversation piece!
Best, Craig
