Yes, I know exactly what you mean! I've been under NDA myself and it is legally binding... to sum it up, "those who know, won't tell, and those who will tell, don't know." No doubt though there will probably be some tidbits popping up here and there prior to its official announcement.

We were speculating about tape a few posts up, but Jan has hinted: "but this little camera will not record to tape, rather to memory, P2 cards. No moving parts except those in the lens."

As far as I'm concerned, no tape at all would be a great thing.

no tape would be ok with me as long as a P2 card isn't $4,000. I bought a Nikon D100 SLR last year. No film is great. Take a picture on compactflash, download to the iMac, adjust, burn to CD and print pictures. Erase compactflash and start over.

That would be the way to go with video too.

"The camera is not HDV, it's HD."

It's as if you're saying, "It's not TV, it's HBO." :)

Basically. The difference between HDV and DVCPROHD is like the difference between a stream and a Tsunami. Just hate to see misinformation spread.

Thanks, Glenn -- there is a world of difference between HDV and DVCPro HD. They may both be high definition video formats, but they are still two completely different formats.
