Defensive??? who? me?

Hey I've got a budget!

I understand budgets.
To end this here and now....
It was NOT my intention to be a "Nay sayer.
My point was to shed an OBJECTIVE light on DVC.
You seemed to imply that because it was digital it was
better. Not always true. DVC could be a Hi-8, S-VHS killer.
A BetaCAM killer??? I don't know... but, I doubt it. There just
seemed to be at lot of wild eyed speculation on this and other lists
that you could buy a DVC Camcorder and be in the "broadcast biz".
Is SONY really going to build a $3000 Camcorder to replace their
$30,000 Camcorder?
Take an objective look at DVC and know what you are getting.
Especially the first year they are out.
Hey, I like DVC.. I plan on getting something in a year or two.
The End..... of this string. Comments to me... if you must.
