This looks like an interesting, inexpensive camcorder.... http://www.resource.datavideo.info/specs/Panasonic_AG-AC8.pdf The cost appears to be a low lower than an AC=130A or AC-160. What is your opinion....

Looks like they re-worked the shoulder mount body design again of the old ag dvc7, dvc60, dvc20, ac7 into this.
Latest incarnation. I like it. it's a lower cost option lower spec option aimed at event, education, etc.
I wish they'd for once give us a body like that with the internals of the slightly higher grade handhelds, meaning I want an hmc150 in that type body, or ac160.
But just like in the dvx days, the handheld gets the higher grade specs whereas the shoulder mount makes due with a little less.
I guess they are afraid that if they did that, it'd hurt their much more expensive pro shoulder mount line.

Ohhhh, I almost bought one yesterday... But I really needed a new editing drive. Hmmm maybe I can find a few extra jobs...
