That's all well and good and I can certainly agree, however the reality is that only Sony is bringing out new tape decks and they aren't in super shape as a company these days. Most owners I know don't want to buy any new decks and can barely afford to properly maintain the decks they own. This includes broadcasters.
XDCAM is nice but many view it as an interim technology. There isn't any great rush to buy XDCAM transports that I can see. It's obvious that even Sony is moving away from the optical flavor of this format. File-based post is still evolving and it's not really there yet, but it is the future whether we like it or not.
