You asshats! it'll cost the same as a sony EX1, but instead of having 35mps full bandwith HD, it's going with the .H264 compression system, which isn't superior in any way, shape or form. Its lense and the AVCHD codec are both inferior to the other prosumer HD cameras out there. The only potential thing this camera has as a leg up on the HVX-200 or EX1 is that SD chips are so cheap, because they're antiquated technology. AVCHD is consumer grade technology. bottom line. it's great for your $1000 Sony palmcam for filming home movies. If you're going to bother to drop $6000 on a camera, get a HVX or EX1. now, if this thing costs $4000, it'll be a contender.
