->> Remember that the inherent quality of the files produced by the HPX-170 are superior to just about all of the others in that it's intra-frame compression rather than inter-frame compression. No Long GOP (group-of-pictures). Each frame on the HDX is individually compressed (like standard definition), unlike HDV, EX, etc. That's why an HDX 1Gb of storage space per minute while HDV uses 14Mb per minute. The HDX also has better color space.
I'd go with the HDX. |

| ->> If high-cost P2 cards are a consideration, you should check out the Panasonic HMC150. I've been shooting on one for almost a month, and it shoots onto regular SD cards. I've been very happy with the quality. |
