No Report???? DVC30

Maybe Steve is right in waiting for the DVC30 for his nature shooting.

But I wonder if the DVC80 won't provide a better all around quality for not so specific applications.

In my opinion the 80 should blow the PD170 and VX2100 out of the water, and it's a pity Sony didn't acknowledge that when they released the new models.

Sony and Canon should have suffered a lot with the DVX100 release, and likely new Canon versions at NAB2004 may provide some relief. Though if they don't go for 24p or native 16:9, their sales shouldn't go up that much.

Sony's apparent policy of not harming their upper lines with the "pretending prosumer" market is probably making them a lot of harm. But will they wake up to that?

In my case, it's quite likely I will be buying an 80 or 100a in January 2004.
