Re: So...it's real?
This all reminds me of the hardware wars in my childhood gamer days...Basically, the game makers got so wrapped up in what console was coming out next, that very few good games were made for a while and there was a disconcerting feeling by gamers that their consoles would become obsolete tomorrow so why even bother. Companies lost lots of money, and content providers for the companies also gave up doing what they do best. They have a name for things that aren't in market or produced yet called "vapor-ware".
As exciting as the DVX200 news is, you can bet that Sony and Canon will follow suite with their own HD 24p cameras. The XL2 is Canon's final SD 3-chip camera in the XL1 lineage, and it's pretty much a closed book that they'll have an HD out too...and don't forget about ever better CMOS tech, and chip/crystal tech.
In fact, 2-D movie-making will gave way to holographic movies that aren't true 3D, but much like what you get out of 2-D holograms today. Many more movies will come out using "The Matrix" techniques in which actors are scanned in and animated, so that the actors won't even need to act at all but cannot possibly be done with prosumer post-technology like Vegas.
My point is that a filmmaker can get swept away by the current of trying to keep up with contemporary technology, but ultimately the bottom line is the movie itself.

Re: So...it's real?
Perhaps; but we can get excited about the first prosumer-leverl HD cam in 24p, which I'm pretty sure we're all looking at as a holy grail.
Not so sure Sony's going to follow suit (none of their prosumer offerings have 24p), and it might take Canon a *while*.

Re: So...it's real?
Nothing wrong with a little excitement. While I agree that storytelling should come first, better tools will allow us to reach a broader audience. Call it the democratization of film if you want to put a name on it.
I've been pretty amazed at the quality of work people have produced from the DVX. Really entertaining and moving stuff. It would be awesome to see people produce stuff and have it picked up for distribution. DVCPRO-HD gets all of us one step closer to that.

Well, one thing is almost sure, the batteries will still be good. Contrary to Sony, Pany's stuff pretty much uses the same battery types. Time to stock up on Jarred's 5000mah DVX batteries. I also wouldn't be surprised that the HDX will have a 72mm thread.
