The HVX arrived…and I’m in love.
The noise issue is overblown. Same for the naysayers who said that 1080p mode was the same. It’s not, both my dad and brother could tell the difference side-by-side. FCP makes the whole import process easy. Slide in the P2 card, hit import, and viola. Color correction is a breeze and the whole thing runs smoothly on my three year old laptop.
The future is now.
Ordered a HVX200.
