Looking for a PDF of it because I am sad and can't wait for the camera to arrive =P

You can download the manual and other materials from Panasonic's DVX100A page (http://epp.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?displayTab=R&storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=68668&catGroupId=14571&modelNo=AG-DVX100A&surfModel=AG-DVX100A).

Will the NTSC version tide you over?

I'm checking www.panasonic.co.nz but haven't found a PAL version yet. All I can find is http://support.panasonic.co.nz/framemanuals.htm -- but I don't see the DVX100 on there...

Yeah I'll read the NTSC version. I could wait until monday.... but thats a long way away isn't it

Joe, I'd love to take a look at your cam, once you've got it and cleaned all the drool off ;) I'm pretty sold on doing an upgrade to it myself seeing as it's looking like Canon aint offering anything at NAB.

Cheers
Aaron

hehehe.
Will get on monday. let me know when you want to see it =)
