If you prefer DVCAM flavor, a Sony DSR-PD-150 3-chip camcorder is available in place of the Betacam camera. This phenomenal little camera makes a picture that is hard to distinguish from the Betacam under many conditions. DVCam tape runs for 40 minutes.

It also shoots in miniDV format, SP speed only, in which it has a run time of 60 minutes.
