More Panasonic Goodies for NAB - P2 to disk downloader, HD monitor, etc. 

More Panasonic Goodies for NAB

This thread on dvxuser.com has more details -

I was just saying I'd want a direct to disk compressed recording solution for the P2 based cameras. Well, almost - this is the AJ-PCS060 device for downloading a P2 card onto a 60GB portable (presumably battery powered) hard disk gadget. Shoot to P2 card, remove card from camera, download via this little box to a hard disk, clear card, reload card, shoot more (or keep shooting on your other cards and have a PA downloading to disk in the background).

Also an LCD monitor for HD usage, and also some P2 optional stuff on this page (see link at top, I'm too lazy to retype).
Comments:
This is getting silly, I really don't understand why Panasonic are so hung up on this P2 format. Why are they not pushing direct-to-disk rather than the inefficiency of really expensive solid state storage and then this idea that you transfer to disk afterwards. Just seems nuts to me when disks are so cheap and have far greater capacity in the first place.
