If only it wasn't Sony
Please note, this blog has been archived and now lives at www.discretecosine.comI know that Sony announced the HVR-DR60 harddisk recorder a week or so ago, but I hadn't seen a good picture until today. Darn that's a nice looking DDR.
I mean, it's totally useless, but darn it sure does look nice.
Useless?
Useless for me at least. Perhaps you'll find it to be a world full of happy. It's M2T and AVI only, and likely won't support anything like Canon's 24F or JVC's 24p. So, FCP users are out in the cold.
As I say, I wouldn't give it a second thought if it wasn't such a darn nice looking product. Sigh.
Oh, it's also FAT32. It's time for FAT32 to die. Yes, I know, it's the only truly cross-platform disk format. Frankly, I'd much rather a device that gave me the choice to run the disk in NTFS or HFS+. Generally, when I'm out shooting, I know whether I'll be hooking the drive up to a Mac or a PC. Since these are all using Linux under the hood, it shouldn't be too difficult - Linux can more or less write to both NTFS and HFS these days. Getting rid of the 2gb file limit would be a dream.
Done with that then...
