Conversion time. Longer than it takes to capture a tape. I have to
ingest, THEN convert.
But if they shoot to the KiPro...I'd be a happy clam! Even to that
Nano-Flash, that shoots I-Frame MPEG-2 (odd but true) is better.

I like the images the EX series puts out...don't get me wrong. The OP
asked for alternatives, so I provided some. The BIG drawback to the
alternatives is the cost of the tapeless medium. Making it so that
you MUST offload in the field so you can reuse the cards. That can be
a task an a half!
