I'm told that mastering to digi-beta is best. This is according to the people at Sony in Culver City. I think they also will accept your master on DVCAM.(posted 9169 days ago)16x9 is much better on a camera with a 16x9 chip since 30% of your information is not thrown away. If you can rent a DSR-130W, do it. Luxery is a HD cam ($1000 a day). Digi-beta with a wide chip looks good, not quite 35mm, but better than super-16.
I would edit DV or DVCAM on a NLE firewire system. Mac is best. And if you use Premiere, be sure to get a plug in that allows you to have triangular pixels. Premiere is only set up for square which is not DV. Avid or Media 100 w/o firewire will degrade your image.
Good luck.
