I am also upgradig camera shortly, I am currently going for the Panasonic HPX-502 P2 or the Sony XDCAM PDWF330K
I also worry about archiving and the XDCAM would make better sense since I would be able to put the source footage disk on the shelf for future use
I will keep my DVCAM camera for backup, great camera
XDCAM is Blu-ray but in a cartridge...I'm sure it's a bit better against scratches and dust.
By the way, we are looking at the HPX500 (US) too, just the no Full HD support (AVC-Intra) and pixel shifted HVX-type CCD's put us on the sidelines for now...I guess we could always go with the HPX2000.
I would go with the HPX502 (UK?) if I were you. 4:2:2 is a great deal in my opinion. XDCAM does have its upsides...uses less datarate (35mbps) and the media is only $30 per disk and you can archive and reuse these.

I thought about that, but then, knowing myself, I will stick with tape for awhile, I'm workaholic, I depended on capturing so I can get away from working and do other stuff, if I go to card, I will never stop working. (-:

Once you use P2 or SxS kind of file based video camera, you will NEVER EVER go back to tape based.
a) Speed. You can immediately use the footage after capture into your NLE without wasting a second on capturing. Great for those ENG guys.
b) Ruggedness. Tapes are inherently fragile. Ever seen a ball of tape curled around a capstan? You know what I am talking about. You can't use a tape based camera at -35 deg C. The capstan will freeze the tape to the metal. P2 cards - I have personally used my HVX202 at 4000m (twice already) ... at -25 deg C to -40 deg C (about there). No problems.
c) Longer battery life. No motors to spin - (capstan needs motor. Read/Write heads need motor).I7-6900K, X99 Taichi, Geforce GTX 1070, Corsair RM850X, Corsair H100 IV2, Windows 10, Edius WG 9.30

O.K. you geeks.....I will take your answers as "I am not interested in a book".
Well then, pulleese direct me to a place where I can read about settings and aspects, etc in HD. Both camera settings and Edius settings. I could just post a new question every hour or so but eventually even my bubbly personality would rub you raw.

PS, I just spent six grand on hardware upgrades so I don't think muscle will slow
