    ok, I have to do this interview, but they want specifically a beta SP camera
    does anyone know of a good place to rent them?
    Are they hard to operate compaired to say the xl2?
    Do you need a deck to convert over to pc, and if so where can i rent that too?
    Please help!

    They specifically want a Beta SP camera?

    That's a bit odd - a Z1 would look way better.

    Anyways - yup you will need a Beta deck to play capture the footage. You can rent them from various places around Dublin - Specialist AV just off Grand Canal Street springs to mind. But you might want to check - getting a place to dump the footage down to DV for you might be cheaper.

    Beta SP? Didn't think anybody shot on that anymore. You're sure they didn't ask for Digibeta?

    It does seem a bit odd... Could it be to match things up with footage already shot?

    A lot of News people shoot on SP, BBC news does all it's cut stories on SP, I suppose it'd be too expensive to upgrade the **** load of Equipment they have. Sp sucks TBH!
