I posted this in the InterBEE Tokyo 2007 thread but I thought everybody should know.

Panasonic will release something in the lower priced range. It is called AG-HMC75, shoulder mounted AVCHD camcorder.
Takes 160 minutes of video on 16GB SD card and it has XLR audio inputs.
Priced 300k yen.

Announced here in the U.S. as the AG-HMC70 (assuming it's the same camera):
