The good point here is that the copy can be done unattended up to five cards. I came back and packed up to five P2 cards to PCD20 and it took about one hour to copy everything over to the hard disk drive (including the last sixth card). Whole performance fit without no margin (wish I took my 3 4GB cards along). I just did shot a 160 minute live performance (4 bands) with three cams, covering the whole performance with HPX and HV20, HVX to be used as handheld and capture only parts.

Also, I have Mac Book Pro and Lacie little big disk hat I could connect the PCD20 (with Tekkon Battery pack) which offer most massive backup possibility possible. I gave a lot thoughts deciding and I decided to buy six P2 cards and PCD20 first because I have HVX and HPX that both needs P2 cards. I was debating to buy Focus, P2 drive or the PCD20. When I purchased HPX, I had to make a decision because I was going to rental as workable set. However, I got tired of them not working so well under real world video shooting situation.

Prior to that, I was trying to get by with few cards and portable drives and tried many ways. Nothing to talk against the inexpensive card slot here, but I purchased bunch of P2 cards and the PCD20. Some other manufacturer take on a challenge and reap the rewards. Д¬ome on Panasonic, make a cut-down 2 slot that we can afford at say under $1k and they'll fly like eagles out the door. Let's face it, it is a simple 'card reader', not a VTR, or a HDD unit, so why does it cost one third the price of a HVX200, when the components to manufacture one would cost maybe $400. Panasonic would sell thousands of these units if they were priced at a level where it would be considered 'affordable'. SO, why don't we ask Panasonic to produce a 'cut-down 2 Card version unit' for us little folk who need to read their P2 cards, bearing in mind we are not in the 'broadcast' league but still need a relativley priced solution to a very basic problem. It's the Panasonic AJ-PCD20 five card reader.Д«UT, it's well over priced for our budgets,

We have all read about every possible solution for a card reader, we all have our work-arounds, panasonic has the solution to all our woes,.
