Well, I'm the happy proud owner of a brand spanking new hd-101. My deepest thanks and gratitude to all of you at DVi and all the contributors who helped me figure out the ins and outs of the camera before hand, so that I could plunk down my tens of thousands of Chinese Yuan with confidence.

I know there's a new one out in October but I just don't care - I'm so happy with the images from this camera I can't say enough - fantastic!

I've got a pic up at my website - hopefully this will give all of you cameraphiles a good laugh.

I will post footage and stills soon enough, as well as tips and tricks as I get really super comfortable with the camera.

Welcome aboard !

Alexei Welcome and it's great to see that even though the new products are out you don't care! That's a great attitude to bring into the ProHD world.

Contratulations! I can't wait to see some Beijing footage.

Cool congratulations you do good work with the camera. Although I haven't slept next to my camera yet.

That's great Alex, i'm part of the far east contigent here as well. Philippines! in fact there are at least two of us from the Philippines that post here.

That's totally going to be me some day soon.

Congratulations Alexei.

Don't worry about the new models. The time to buy is when you need it. You're gonna have a lot of fun with the camera.
