DR-DV100 HD (Firestore HDD for HD100)

Did anyone get any further info on the DR-DV100 at NAB?

http://pro.jvc.com/pro/pr/2005/nab/p...s_release.html

If it has "four-and-a-half hours" of record time, sounds like it'll be a 40GB drive.

Any word on price?

Any chance of it having swappable hard drives?

It's a version of the FS-4, so it appears that the drives aren't swappable.

It's a re-badged FS-4, and they quoted a price of $1500. It sits on top of the camera via the cold shoe, and is tethered by a firewire cable. No swappable drives.

They did say it had more integration with the camera than a regular FS-4 would have, but didn't spell out exactly what that meant.

Although we saw it mounted to the top handle, Ken Freed assured me it would also mount behind the camera as well (behind the battery).
