Hey guys - did you see this.

The XH-G1 and XH-A1 are based on the HDV tape format, which allows storage of HD-quality images on conventional DV tape, and come with a 20X optical zoom lens.

Looks nice.

I can only see news of it on the Japan site.

Yup, as always, DV Info is on top of things! Lengthy thread already in progress in the Digital Video Industry News forum:

Since the existing thread is well along, let's use that one to discuss this exciting news!

Dedicated XH Series forum now in place: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=138

And an XH Series web site: http://www.dvinfo.net/canonxh/index.php

Hope this helps,
