Ordered mine today, didn't care much about the new one's coming out, so I will get mine this Thursday. Hopefully it'll be easy to get use to focusing this thing, as I have to shoot in late August. Anyone know of a backpack for this camera? I heard petrol is coming out with one, is there an exact date?

Focusing is really easy. It has a very wide depth of field so you don't have to ride focus too much.

The FOCUS ASSIST is AMAZING! The JVC always comes out on top in the focus department over the other cameras. Don't worry about that.

Anyone know of a backpack for this camera?

I've seen pictures of a Kata backpack on this discussion board here:
