16x zoom but starting at which wide? They do not specify that in order to compare it with GL2 or PDX10

According to the pdf link provided by Zac Williams, it is supposed to be 39.5-632mm (35mm equivalent). I believe the GL2 is 39.5-790mm, and the Sony PDX10 is 49-588mm in 4:3 or 41-492mm in 16:9 mode. It seems to be in direct competition with the GL2. I can't wait to see what's next from Canon, since I am going to purchase a camcorder in the near future. Any of them would be fine, but it will all come down to who has all the features I really want at the best price. This market is getting interesting, and we will all benefit from all this competition.

Looking forward to it. Let's hope someone can go there and comment on their findings. Price and availability are very important.

I should be there Wednesday, I'll let you know what they say. They'll probably also issue a press release, so check their website...

I am deciding between this DVC30 and a GL2 (or maybe GL3 if a new model is on the horizon), and would appreciate any reports on the DVC30 from the DV Expo in LA.

Thanks
