Here's the deal:
I just filmed 34 hours of footage on my XL1s with Panasonic 63PQs (from Zotz Digital, woohoo!) for the "Making of" a major motion picture I just worked on.
I know better than to use my XL1s to capture all those tapes (or portions thereof) and while I'd like to buy a deck, it may be cost prohibitive right now. Reading the threads, it occurred to me I could probably cannibalize my mom's camera for my purposes. It is a Canon ZR40.
Everything you guys have said so far seems to say, "Yes" but to make sure: Is that camera a suitable alternative to capturing all these tapes on a mini-dv deck? Are there any drawbacks?
