I'm shooting my first film on the Sony PD100A. Just wondering if any of you guys had any pointers as to the best mac based 24p conversion (pre-edit), if i should shoot 4:3 and matte for final ratio or shoot in camera electronic 16:9, etc.

Basicly the best technical choices when shooting. I doubt i will have the means to transfer to 16 or 35mm prints but i might be able to afford an HDCAM master.

I'm shooting with the NTSC model by the way. I know lots of people that shoot features on interlaced equipment use PAL, but i could not find a PAL model so i went with NTSC.

Thanks :)
