Yes,
I already received my with the Fuji CAC Lense.
Will be doing some testing over the weekend.
So far I'm impressed with the external apparency, very well build.
A lot heavier than my "olds" HDU100. So if you're used to small prosummer cameras, you'll build muscle with this one. :)
Fuji lenses seems adecuate (a lot better that the one the came with the HD100), I haven't done that much testing yet so I don't know how good or bad it is, image looks good though (Haven't seen CAC yet), however, as any lense in this price range, it breaths a little, no that bad, one will be able to achieve some good rack focus shots.
Talking about focus,... the DOF of this package is quite good, BIG jump for the 1/3 world... not as good as 35mm but good enough for me, so I don't think I will use any Pro35/M2/35mm adapter anytime soon, maybe renting some Digiprime will do the trick too when that Very-Ultra-Super-Shallow DOF is needed, other than that, zoom and aperture will get you quite there to achieve that "cinematic" look.
I will try to post some footage over the weekend, for now, it's back to my "real" job (I'm an engineer, video & filmmaking is my hobby/part time business).
For me, this camera is the real deal! and it's here already. Very good package for the price.
Congrats to Jen & thePanasonic Team, you got a winner.

Gustavo

I've got space on an otherwise dormant domain. If the files aren't too large (<50MB), I can host them or at least co-host with others providing mirrors. Just PM me and I'll give you ftp access for an upload.
Is there any way you can get your hands on an SD 2/3" lens to do some comparisons of stuff shot in HD using the Fuji HD lens that came packaged and the SD lens? I really want to see what the image hits are in the SD lens configuration.
Thanks in advance for any help.:)
