now if they just had an esata port! but enjoy it-- the screen alone is practicall worth the price.
congrats again. now post some imac porn.

Yes, an eSATA port would have been the icing on the cake.
My only option now is to transfer the SxS-based media via USB 2.0 using the Sony XDCAM transfer application and then opening Final Cut Pro and import the batch files with Sony's Clip Browser, which came with the camera. Fuck, I need a RAID. Bitch workflow!
Will pm you a photo or two in the coming days, once I've sorted this shit out and cleaned up the mess in my editing room.
Btw, have you seen the recent Nov 30th Scarlet announcements?
Looks killer and the Redmote Pro is out of this world!
