I think the XDCAM is a great idea, a 2/3 chip will only make it more widely accepted for broadcast.

It is sad that you can't get a HDV compatible signal out of the camera. The promotional material indicates that XDCAM HD is compatible with current HDV NLE systems, but we find out that this is true only if you purchase a deck AND a $2000 optional board.
Just have to love the marketing department. I think this is a great camera system, but I'm not sure it will be cost effective. It could end up a dead system when the high end XDCAM HD comes down the road in the next year or so.
PDW-F330K, XDCAM HD with standard lens € 19.900,00
PDW-F330L, XDCAM HD camcorder (without lens) € 15.200,00
Absolutely, the EU prices are (like always) higher, I just wanted you to show that it gives two versions, with standard lens and without.
