Definately agree. I personally love the camera and have the money to get
one and would love to . . BUT . . the idea of changing cards all the time
and paying a fortune for them isn't my cup of tea. Moreover, although I
could pop the card out, d/l it to my laptop and then resume, the idea of
having the cast and crew sitting around while i'm doing that doesn't sound
appealing either, let alone I do a two camera shoot or more most of the time
AND seldom do we interrupt a shoot once it's started . . straight run for 20
minutes at a wack. "CUT" so i can d/l :o) don't think so.
