1) I know the specs arnt out just yet but maybe this is known.
but i am looking to get a M2 lens adapter and wondering if I buy one now for use with cameras i own - will it work with a future XDCAM EX? Do you think the 1/2 inch chips will make the lens ring larger than 72mm?
2) Also, this shoule have HDMI output right? All sony's recent cameras have it now. I would be supprised if not but from the pictures i dont see - maybe its under a flap.
3) Also, from the pictures I was noticing where the Expanded focus button was - right by the thumb record button - so you dont have to move your left hand from the lens to find it - as I usually have to do with other cameras. This is nice.
4) With the other XDCAM models, when you are in camera mode -shooting - and you push the 'Review shot" button (or whatever its called) how long does it take to look at your shot? I have only used tape based cameras where it takes a long time - and i end up never using the shot review button b/c im affraid it wont return to the right timecode place - but with non-tape based cameras - you should be able to quickly look at your last take right>? - with little delay - and not worry about tapeing over something. This would be huge for me.
