Maybe Sony has just one more prosumer sd camera up it's sneaky little sleeve and we might just see it in the next month. Why wouldn't they make a 3 chip camera w/ 3mp each w/ 25/30p.They're doing this now with consumer models except just one chip. It could put down any dvx noise left esp. if they brought it in for a grand under. And they'll probably swat that jvc fly while they're at it with a dsr 250/z1 w/24p. Wouldn't that make next month fun ?? Kurth

What Kurth says would make the most sense to me. I'd add 16:9 chips in 1/3" (Hey they have the PDX-10 so why not notch that up). It really will be a while for HDV to take hold.

They may simply take some of those inovations like the cine gamma type controls and ergonomics and make a DV only model for less money so they can compete with DVX100A. I just find that the FX1/Z1 have too many problems as a DV camera when compared to both their own 2100/170 and the DVX100A.

ACH! I just paid 2,300 for a 2100. Now I'm going to be really mad if I see them next week for 1,500 or something. haha.
