Moira: There’s HDCAM and there’s HDCAM SR. HDCAM is a terrible format, to be avoided at all costs. HDCAM SR is ok if you want HD and need tape, but it is fading quickly in favor of files.
While many are suggesting ProRes (and that should be ProResHQ 442 (I don’t think you need 444 in this case) you might consider as an archival format Uncompressed Quicktime 10 bit. The big problem is Avid — they don’t play nicely with outside formats. For 4:3 projects (uncropped) you might be better off working at 2K (2048 x 1536) — pillar boxed HD is only 1080 x 1440, not ideal.
