That camera may come from Sony's professional division, but it's feature set and performance are awfully consumerish.

Sony HC7 in a bigger body.

Wouldn't it be funny to open up an HD1000U and find an HC7 inside, connected to the controls on the outer casing via LANC? :-Laugh(DBG)-1

Comical, yes, but -- dude, that'd be cool! It'd be like a "docking station"; when you need it tiny and handheld, pluck it from the dock and go. When you need the shoulder-mount stability and bigger form factor, plug it back in.
That'd actually be a cool idea...

If one of the majors (Panasonic, JVC, Sony or Canon) made a "convertible" like that, with the basic pro features (real manual control of iris, shutter, focus, gain), I'd give it a look.
