Has anyone heard of any independent reviews of the japanese nv-gs70. I'm looking to buy the its american sister the pv-gs70 when it comes out and wanted to see what it's video quality was like.

The meister thinks it performed better than the gl2 and I was wondering how true that is.

Good idea Reed. I am also curious about this cam. I never though about translating JPN reviews.

I'm waiting to have a look at this baby. It should be out here in a few weeks to a month---something like that. My main concern is its low video effective CCD pixel count. I'm not too concerned about its DIS. From what I recall, the pixels are 290K per CCD. I don't think it will reach 500 horizontal playback lines. Otherwise, it may be a nice cam, I don't know. However, a friend of mine went to the Pana dealer show, and was not impressed at all.
