HVR-V1U: Sony unveils new 24P HDV camcorder
 

Check out this press release, just issued today:

http://news.sel.sony.com/en/press_ro...ase/25017.html

"... delivers true 24P progressive scan capture, and uses three of Sony’s ClearVid CMOS Sensor™ chips combined with Sony's Enhanced Imaging Processor™ technology to provide greater sensitivity, higher resolution, lower noise and a wider dynamic range."

They called!!

I wonder how much that suggested price will go down too?

60P too.

I wonder how long before we see some footage?

Should that price say 4800.00, and not 48,000?

Jason I'm certain that's just a simple typo.Not long -- see http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=75802

I checked and it said 4,800 and 1,800 for the drive.

Well, I dont know what the deal is with the whole 24p to 60i to 24p deal is, but if we can get full true 24p then I might have found me a new cam!

I have to admit, I like the smaller size and lighter weight of the V1U compared to the Canon A1/G1. And now it looks like it does 60P which the Canons only do 60i. But the Canons have a better lens range and the chips are 1/3" compared to 1/4". Dang, it's going to be tough deciding between these two.

that it will be. If the suggested price drops closer to the Canon $3,999 then it will not be as hard.

Didn't the Z1 drop in price after it was first announced?

Is there any pictures of the V1U? Is it the same as the V1e?

I don't know if this camera does a pulldown. The DVX100a, XL H1, etc., do the pulldown to 29.97.

I am curious if 1/4 inch CMOS is similar, better, worse than 1/3 inch CCD.

heath

Jsut about everything that has been asked for... except better low light capability.... Is a 1/3 cmos in the future ?

We should get Spot in here for some scientific explanations!

heath

Externally it's the same as the V1E except for the markings of course.

if the V1 does what they say it will do,,,,wow!

Chris:

1. Any "in camera flip" for the 35mm adapter people ?

2. This is a new lens right ? How do you feel about its image quality ?
