After looking at all of the new cameras out there, I have concluded that none meet my particular needs. I definitely need 60 fps for sports recording, and I need hand-held form factor. I also need at least a 14x telephoto capability. I have a HPX-170, which delivers terrific 720 p 60 video, but the next step up will be 1080 p 60. Currently, the only codac that I am aware of that delivers 1080 p 60 is AVCHD, and the only camera out there that comes close to my needs is the Sony NEX-FS100. Unfortunately, the Sony lens for this camera is only 11x, and the bit rate is a fairly low 28 Mbs. I have read that major television players in both the US and in Europe are considering a move to 1080p 60 as the next broadcast standard, so hopefully more cameras will be coming that can record 1080 p 60, but for now we video people probably need to continue with 720 p 60.

Why are you telling us?

Go tell Sony/Panny/Canon/JVC instead.

Dylan - the reason to post here is that some manufacturer's reps actually read these forums from time-to-time. Also, there are other members who might wish to share additional information about these topics. Sorry if you found this to be self-serving on my part.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding...

I'm pretty sure he's Canadian.

Blame Canada...

As well Mark, remember that SHOOTING is only one part of the puzzle piece. Post and delivery have a LONG way to go around 1080P60 material.

I love what I've seen out of the Sony FS100 in terms of 1080P60 and will be adopting that as my "house" format as soon as there is a workable Concept to Completion workflow available to me but until then, I mix 720P60, 1080P30 and 24 in house, as needed.

It gets pretty difficult to make something like a 14X zoom for a camera with a large sensor such as the FS100. You would likely have to deal with using more than one lens.

One option for tighter shots may be this in the near future:
Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG OS APO HSM AF Lens 136205 B&H Photo

Very good point, Michael, one that I failed to immediately recognize. That Sony lens looks awesome, but at 6.5 lb plus the camera weight, I'll need to head to the gym for ENG-style work. I suspect that I will need a camera with a smaller sensor to get a reasonable 14x or better zoom. The 35 Mbs AVCHD 1080p 60 fps looks like a usable next-gen codac, we just need the camera to go with it.
