this test footage looks nice for a sub 10k camera. How are the transfer rates from p2 to the mac?

SullivanRoom,

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're speaking of speed, it's fast and accurate.

Camcorder to Final Cut to compressor to youtube. To tell you the truth I should have shot the vid in 720p rather than 720pn, Learning as I go about HD,

Yes, how can I get the video transfered onto my mac? I've connected a firewire but it does seem to open up.

i really want to become a filmmaker but dont know the first thing about cameras. i entered a few contests an i might have a good chance of being able to afford a camcorder like that. my question is how easy is it to learn how to use that camcorder?
