I've started a thread on the XDCAM EX forum that might of interest to F800/700 owners (and prospective owners). If you have any comments, please make them over on the other thread so we don't have two threads going.

Kinda curious does digital extender have any effects or dropouts when we use it instead of the optical extender? thanks

Mohamad I use the digital extender all the time on my f800 and there is no reason to worry about dropout.
