I believe I read that the new models (200/250) have a 12 GOP. How will this affect the artifacting? Better or worse? This one of my concerns, as I have been looking at the HD100 and HVX. Now these 2 newer models coming out are looking pretty good with the new features. So now my choice is even more difficult. Are there any concrete release dates for the 2 new models?
