Yeah I was originally going to poke fun at the "MC" comparison. Guess I didn't need to haha. I could live with "the Hammer" though.
 
Personally I think they should call it the HDX-100, or HDX-150. It still sounds similar to DVX or HVX, but is different enough so that we don't confuse it with the DVX and HVX.

As for the HMC, maybe it means "High-Memory-Capacity" or something like that due to the use of SD cards.
 
yep; definitely HDX-150 for the win.

If we do in fact have to wait until fall for this camera, that's kind of a bummer though. :violin: Kinda wish it was available for summer projects.
 
Just call it the hvx150, that would have made it extremely clear where it was in the product line and put all that hvx replacement stuff to rest.
 
But Panasonic has a certain way they name their cams. The letters are not just arbitrary.

I think HVX is something like:

H- High Definition
V- DV Deck
X - 24p

So HPX-500

H- High Definition
P- P2 Media
X- 24p

So HMC might mean:

H- High Definition
M- ? (Media designation?)
C- ? (Varicam has a C in the title as well)

Duno, just guessing.

Yeah, agreed. But what about ordering one from a rental house over the phone?

Alphabet Soup.

Makes me wish cameras were named like bikes; like The Killing Machine, The Destroyer, or The Maneater.
 
Red has a waveform. It's... not as ideal as you'd want, but it's still got one. If they made it a transparent overlay it'd rock. Red also has a bizarre pseudo-waveform called "false color".

Right now I don't bother with it and use the waveform on my BT-LH80.

But I've been nagging Panasonic for a waveform for almost two years now. Let's hope they listened!

Sure, sure that would be nice... But we'll know if they really listened when we find out if you can flip the monitor video output so that using a 35mm adaptor get easier.
