Just joined the list, and received my HVX200 on Friday. Two words....love it! Been shooting on Broadcast rigs for twenty years, this is one sweet camera...especially for $5300. (BTW Lerro in Philadelphia had 2 in Stock on Friday the 24th) Just starting to get familiar with the camera and noticed in a very quiet room, that you can hear the zoom motor when you depress the wide /tight all the way down, basically the fastest zoom speed. When I gently and slowly zoom, no motor noise. Is anyone experiencing this??? Or do I have a sick one?? Also can anyone suggest a 6000 mAh battery as a second battery? Shooting 480 24P on tape today...pix look great! Hope that I can contribute to the list in the future.
