The new camera compared to an XH A1S…
The glass case in which the new camera mock-up was contained made it difficult to get some decent side-by-side shots with the XH, but this will give you some idea of how they compare in size.
One more view of the busy left side controls layout…
…and the whole camera.
Hopefully the two buttons behind the zoom toggle are individually programmable custom keys.
The connections module, similar to the one at the back of the XH G1S / A1S, but laid out a bit differently. Sure hope there’s an HDMI jack in there. And most likely it’ll have USB2 instead of FireWire… or maybe both?
The four round port covers are identical to those on the XL H1S (three of which are on the XH G1S), indicating that this model has HD-SDI output, GenLock, and separate TimeCode input and output jacks, meaning this model is intended for the pro video / broadcast market. There will almost certainly be an identical version of this camcorder made available *without* these jacks, selling at a lower price point, just like the XL H1A and XH A1S.
The only front view I have. Sure looks like a 72mm filter thread diameter to me.
