Yeah the exec prod had air which killed us from using it as only 1/3 of cameras were using SD.

CF seems to be slowly dying away though...most of the newer DSLR cameras (which are slowly becoming movie cameras as well) seem to be going SD.

i beg to differ, the 5D which is the main DSLR used for film production is a CF model, for best quality HD the SD cards don't cut it.
Also the Canon XF's also are CF cards.

We were using panasonic mini cams which native record to SD but had to use nanoflash to record to CF at the required 1080p 50 frames that BBC was requiring.

Perhaps then, it would be more accurate to say, that SD seems to be where the cheaper, mass-consumer oriented DSLRs are going.  :P

I won't argue with that assertion!

:huh: Even S's new Rebel is CF.  Oh, and Kat, the good news is that the USB CF readers have gotten way, way, way more common- S managed to get hers in a 5-minute Best Buy run, and we know how much they love stocking esoteric equipment. :P

Are there any peripherals on the market yet that actually use Thunderbolt? :lol:

Now I may have to look into that for recording purposes, since getting raw digital audio realtime is just as much of a bitch as getting raw digital video.

Oh i know it, the audio guy and i had our workstations at night all setup in same place most nights so saw all he had to deal with, but he could get away with just SD for audio <_<
