So... does that mean it looks like Velvia, or does it look more saturated than Velvia with higher contrast?

Like I said, I'm not the one who wants Super 8 Velvia footage; I'm the one trying to...

Just double checking something - the record time on the GH1 is limited to the capacity of the card, right? So, if I'm recording something, it's not going to cut out at an arbitrary time, like the...

Get the OEM version of Vegas - that's $200, and you can build a Core 2 Quad system for around $800. So, maybe not less than the camera but not more than the camera, certainly.

Yeah, but if you have to use tape as a backup medium, use 250GB computer tape. 15 GB is TINY.

I'd rather trust two HDDs than one tape. It's so big and bulky for what you get.
