I will be videotaping a dance recital on the 20th. I plan to record to the 510 via the firewire out from camcorder. I will record to the HDD in fine mode. I am also going to record to the E50 via an S cable from the same camcorder. I will record in XP mode. I will have identical footage to compare quality. I'll post results
Only problem I can forsee, is by using XP mode on the 50, I will run out of space after 1 hour, whereas the 510 will record for 17 hours in fine mode
