European version?

Well I was watching Alien today at 25P and it still had its slow pacing And I never heard from Ridley that the PAL version has destroyed his vision.

Lets face it, its mostly in our head the difference will occur. Its almost impossible for a human to tell the difference of 4% speed. If you can i suggest you start working as a traffic cop.

Shooting 25P 1080 with the PAL will actually give one advantage over the NTSC model. PAL use all 100 mbs on the 25 frames. When NTSC have to trough away 25% of it, when it record 24P 1080.

NTSC 1080 60i 100mbs = 1080 24P 75 mbs
PAL 1080 50i 100 mbs = 1080 25P 100 mbs = 1080 24P 96 mbs

So if you live in PAL land, buy the PAL unless you need 60P 720

This isn't fair, cause we also want to be able to do slow motion. Why do they have to do that? As far as I know HD is HD anywhere, it doesn't have PAL nor NTSC. So, why not stick the same HD specs for the PAL version?
We also want variable frame rate, you know?
And I don't really care for SD capturing. I have my DVX for that.

It does make sense in the DVX, but the HDX, come on, give us a break!

I don't mind a DV input. You never know. Some people have to sell their DVX, FX1 or Z1 to get this camera so...

In any case I think the best thing for Europeans will be to fly to the US and get the camera. If it comes out in winter, I'll probably fly to Miami and get it there while enjoying some sun. Then I can even test the camera outdoors with light. Anything you test in Germany outdoors in winter will look horrible, and a 16:9, 1/3 inch CCD doing HD will definitely have big problems with low light.
