Just saw this over at Camcorder Info:

http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-to-Announce-AJ-HDX100-Under-$10,000-HD-Camcorder-at-NAB-with-24P.htm

War is over... Pana won!

At least till we see JVC respond.

But even if JVC cam is nearly as better they don´t have Pana´s fan comunity...

i don't know if a $10,000 'prosumer' camera is a victory..?

A DVCProHD camera is! At that price? Simply amazing. Those who can't spend a little more for this will have to make due with HDV. Really, if you're spending that much money it's not a huge problem to save a little more. Especially since a DVCProHD camera would last a LONG time without being "outdated"

Anyway I guess it will be 1280x720 and 8 bit......
So the homemade project will be for sure ahead, giving 10 to 12 bit without compression......
