[MacDV] QUES: Sony Hi* into Panasonic GS500MiniDV trouble

[Brett Conlon]

BUMMER DUDE!

This might be grounds for a changeover of camcorder units - if the 
salesperson said it could be done. Otherwise you'll need an analogue to DV 
bridge device.

Personally I'm very happy with my Panasonic (was the best on the market 
for its kind at the time) so don't be too keen on kicking the Panasonic 
out the door for the purposes of catering to your old technology when the 
future footage taken could be at stake.... if you know what I mean.

Best o' luck!

Cheers,

Coj

PV-GS500 does *not* have analog-to-digital pass through.

 From the camcorderinfo.com website:
