[Avid-L2] Re: Mac Smoke Official now new Sheriff in town now DSLR/DSMC?

Least we forget Sony never intended 3/4 inch for broadcast. That was why the industrial units had head switching at 6 and a 1/4 lines up as opposed to the Later BVU standard of 2 and a 1/4 lines.

It's NOT the day in and day out "run and gun" of a typical reality production, but the ancillary "special stuff" like titles sequences, B-Roll, etc. that would be candidates for use. In the past, where they may have shot film for these kinds of things, these new DSLR's offer an interesting option.

Mini DV was never "intended" as a substitute for 35mm film, but look at all the independents who used it for features. If there's one thing I'm absolutely certain of it's that if a manufacturer creates a product, someone will use it for something "unintended".
