“Excuse me, but I’ve been hearing that word “obsolete” for most of my life and you know what, we still dig holes with shovels.” – Dominic Santini
Do you want to transmit audio/video wireless to a recording device elsewhere? Maybe you can find something here: http://www.rangevideo.com
Or are you looking for portable recorder to attach to the camera. I think you’d want to look for a FireStore device.
I’ve connected the firewire out of cameras directly into my PowerBook G4 and recorded with FCP5. An SSD will give you a nice boost on an other system. Check http://www.otherworldcomputing.com for options.
If you are recording longer sessions, tape length limitation is an issue.
