Angelo, the 5850 is reguler Umatic, NOT SP. It is old but frame accurate although you might need long prerolls to allow it to stabilize between edits. The diaquest dq422 supports the 5850. I don't know if it's better than the AG7750. Probably similar depending on your intended market. S-VHS would probably be better for corporate and 3/4" better for cable broadcasts. I personally would avoid the 5850, either that or only pay $1k for it. Martin
