EVO-9650
I purchased a Sony SVO 9600 to use as a player/backup editor in my system. I
was attracted to it for its price. I was a bit skeptical about it so I hedged
my bet and bought it thinking of using it only as a player and backup. I have
been very surprised. I have had less problems with it so far than my Panasonic
AG 7750. It is a lighter deck, and I would not recommend it in an industrial
abusive enviroment, but in my studio where I watch and take great care of
everything, I dont see any problems. I am not sure about its lon longevity for
doing animation, but for the price, it can sertainly get you off the ground.
I have dropped over 5 minutes of animation to it so far with out missing a
frame. I use Vlan controllers. OZ
