GY-DV5100 cam from JVC?

[Zig_Zigman]

Did anyone check out this camera at NAB? 3 1/2" chips, an improved DSP, 3 xlr's...

and this

"JVC has added a 16:9 mode to address the growing demand for wide screen programming, and a “Hi Res Frame Mode” for increased vertical resolution and a more cinematographic effect. Creative professionals will also appreciate the camera's almost limitless customization settings including new variable enhancement frequencies. Audio capabilities have also been expanded with 3 XLR microphone connectors built-in."

Is the 16:9 mode a squeeze? How much res do you lose? What is the "hi res frame mode?"

[Ralph Oshiro]

From JVC brochure:

"16:9 squeeze (Anamorphic Compression Mode): Now you can shoot in either 16:9 or 4:3 format at the touch of a button. 4:3 pictures are converted electronically to 16:9, eliminating the need for an anamorphic lens."

That sounds like a squeeze to me. In other words, it's a 4:3 CCD, not a 16:9-native CCD.
