The circle up top on the back of the handle is a speaker for monitoring/playback.
The wire/connector in question is power and auto iris connection to the lens.

The hand grip seems to be mounted at the lens. So maybe there will be a better, more balanced handling than with the Canon XL2. But will it be good for the lens and its attachment to the body? It looks a little bit fragile to me.

This arrangement with the lens is nothing new, broadcast shoulder cams have been doing this for eons, and with bodies that weigh a lot more than the HD100. Go look at a BVW400, or even a more extreme example a Sony DXC head and Beta deck on the back.
The lens/body junction is much stronger than it looks, but it can break, of course.
The 5lb supposed weight of the HD100 body will only stress the b-mount a fraction of what other cameras have in the past.

HDX won´t look similar; it was going to be like the DVX100 only little heavier. Then sure it won´t be as impresive for ´job and women gathering´ but that´s another point. I´m not in it for the look but for the functions... Let´s wait. But it´s true, looks awesome.
Only i´m not sure about the earphone, i know it´s useful but i would rather go with full good earphones than this little beauty, because then you will have more control over what is being recorded.

I'm sure there is a headphone jack, but the speaker is a nice addition if you are using the lcd to screen with a run-and-gun crew. As far as the looks, it's the funtionality of the look that impresses me. The changable lenses, the shoulder mount, the handle on top, the large eyepiece, the lcd screen, xlr imputs, plus 16:9 and HD 24p all in one package. Come on, Panni better pull it out, I'm tellin' ya.

The Mickey Mouse camera... because of the speaker.
And yes, it´s like porn! The first time i saw the coded image of the JVC i felt like waching porn in pay per view coded channel! And then these complete images! THIS is an orgasm! Marketing teams know what they are doing! I have leave everything i´ve been doing just to see what happens at April 4th and NAB! this is crazy! Luckily after NAB there will be a resting period till the cameras start to sell!

By the proportion of the deck door, it looks as though its only Mini tapes and not large ones. Too bad.
You're not the only one. It does look like some type of resting hoofed mammal. Like a tonton. :cheesy:
