I presume you are personally familiar with the product of all the
formats under discussion then Greg ?
I am. While the DVW 790 has certain creative advantages over the Z1 ,
such as having lens options that crush the focal field very nicely and
certainly better resolution and latitude in SD mode, the HDV mode of the
Z1 blasts the Digi Beta clean out of the water in all other respects. As
for XDCAM what a BBC driven con that is.
