SxS cards vs. QXD when will clients switch?

October 7, 2015 forum topics
Okay,

So I own a couple Canon cameras and a couple Panasonic cameras.

I’m primarily using these, but sometimes rent an EX3/EX1 camera.

My Z1U is getting long in the tooth (stopped shooting on it for clients about 2 years ago) I just have it in my car all the time in case I want to grab some quick stock footage clips, and I don’t care if it gets stolen, because it’s so old.

Will the EX3 clients move on to large sensor with the FS7 but still maintain XDCAM codecs (to fit with post workflow), or will they want to stick to SxS cards and use cameras such as the PMW300/PXW200, PMW400 etc.?

I am asking because for now some clients come to me with their own SxS cards and then fly away with them, but the also said as long as it’s editable in format, that I don’t HAVE to shoot on their cards.

Just wondering where this trend will go, as I want to get a Sony camera in a few months or so.
