The ability to do an instant, instant replay of material you just recorded and came back to is also legion. Also, P2 can record formats that tapes just can't do. I agree preservation becomes more difficult, but then again every single bit of footage ends up having to go through a period of "preservation" when on tape, such that you then have to restore it before working with it. I can see both ways. Even with tapes, I record too much to put it all on a hard drive (BBS Documentary had 250 hours!).

It's way easier with tapes. P2 makes it so quick to get things into the editor, but it does make life considerably more difficult when dealing with things like offline editing, backing up, preservation, etc. I like tapes.
