Hmm, possibly the first broadcast 1080p60 camera? (excluding RED ONE, but I doubt that'll be used for broadcast.)

I believe the HDC-1500 does 1080P60 as well. It was introduced last year at NAB.

-gb-

the fellas at work (panavision australia) nickname that the "baby genesis".
it has a similiar design and also uses the same film magazine type tape compartment, it also uses the HDCAM-SR codec.

Yep - the 1500 did 1080p60 on dual link (but only 4:2:2) last year.

Jeff Cree of Band Pro made a significant point of it NOT being a baby Genesis - different sensor entirely, different optical path, etc. This camera is MUCH closer to an HDC-1500 with a SRW-1 on the back than to the Genesis.

Key points of differentiation:
-traditional 3 CCD w/B4 mount lenses
-different sensor entirely
-2/3" sensor not 35mm sized

If nobody has told you this before Mike, welcome to dvinfo.net ;) .
