Pretty sweet.

That lens says f/1.4 ???????????????????

[Mediacre]

Say what you want about the JVC, but it looks way more professional than the HVX. Can't wait to see the footage. It won't be DVCPRO-HD but if it cost less plus the lower operational price, the nice lens and the cool form factor, and looks better than the Z1 footage, it will still be a though competitor to the HVX.

[Mediacre]

From the article:

"The 7000 as a full-sized, shoulder mount camera with 2/3” CMOS chips, each with a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels"

The 2/3" ProHDV will have CMOS chips. It will sell for $27,950 with lens. Interesting.

[Mediacre]

That lens says f/1.4 ???????????????????

Yep. Not as slow as some were painting it.

[Mediacre]

Dude, this camera looks so cool. Looks like a real production machine, doesn't it?

It sure does!

[Nick Adams]

it's looks are kinda weird... is that an headphone next to the viewfinder?

[Shaw]

Well in all fairness we haven't really seen the HVX Mediacre ;). That said I know exactly what you mean. It's just a completely different style form factor.

I think it would be really cool if cameras gave us the option of changing out bodies and/or parts. One day you have a shoulder mount, the next a "handycam"! Not practical really but I fun idea

[Barry_Green]

Those are some nice pix. I'm still trying to grasp what it'll look like considering how small it is -- I mean, you can see how big a six-pin firewire connector is on that thing, so it's obvious the camera is tiny. But it looks great! I expect that there will be thousands of customers who won't even debate whether 720 is better than 1080, or HDV vs. DVCPRO-HD, there's going to be thousands of non-tech guys who take one look at that thing at the WEVA expo and say "that's it -- that's the one I want."
