It started in
earnest last year and shows no sign of abating. Videographers are
clearly in the midst of two revolutions: tapeless recording and the use
of the hybrid still/video camera (HDSLR). The tapeless future started
with P2 and XDCAM, but these storage devices have been joined by other
options, including Compact Flash, SD and SDHC memory cards. The
acceptance of small cameras in professional operations first took off
with DV cameras from Sony and Panasonic, especially the AG-DVX100.
These solutions have evolved into cameras like the Sony HVRZ7U and
PMWEX3 and Panasonic’s AG-HPX170 and AVCCAM product line. Modern
compressed codecs have made it possible to record high-quality 1080 and
720 HD footage using smaller form factors than ever before.
