Panasonic's PV-GS400 3CCD camcorder

Panasonic has just come out with a sweet-sounding new camcorder for that ridiculous-sounding niche market: the prosumer. For $1499.95 you get the PV-GS400, a 3 CCD camcorder with a 4 megapixel still camera, Leica Dicomar lens, image stabilization, FireWire and USB2.0 connections, SD slot, a bunch of manual controls and a nice and big LCD. The big deal is the three CCD's which each take on the reproduction of reds,
greens and blues and combine the image later, which produces quite nice images. Slap on that Leica lens and it's hard to go wrong.
