I went to the HD website, where they had various articles about which of their products were used on which projects both in Hollywood and in the independent arena. While this would seem like a point we would all come to the conclusion to, I found:
"HD Studios' F900 cameras were rented for principal photography of a HD feature starring Forrest Whittaker and Virginia Madsen. HDCAM tapes were downconverted to DVCAM on set using our Miranda DVC 800 onboard downconverters. This allowed downconversion to DVCAM tape as each take is simultaneously recorded to HDCAM tape."
That's pretty neat, if you ask me. Not only did this HD camera "downconvert" as they call it to record on DV, but also allowed an HD recording at the same time. At this point, however, why would you wish to downgrade?

so what kind of HD cameras does Mark Cuban make?
Maybe they will use the SD version to cut with, because the computers they use can do real-time effects and transitions? Or perhaps its easier to make copies of dailies and things in an SD format? There could be several reasons connected to production workflow.
