I'd assume by the implementation of these forums that the camera is in fact real and coming out soon =) Here's an amateur question though - if it's HD, that means by default it is 16x9 native?
Does anyone have any idea on the shape of the HDX100? Do you think it will be like the ag-dvx100 or a lot bigger like the sdx900 or even the XL2 ... because I shoot mostly extreme sports and huge camcorders aren't that much useful for me...

Oh, you're such a tease. ;D
what I'm wondering is the filter diameter because I' going to buy the anamorphic lens, a century optics fisheye and probably a mattebox for my dvx. Don't want to change everything in few months or a year ....
Regarding whether it'll be seen at NAB... I'd say that's a very likely possibility, since the announcement Steve Mullen made was done at the traditional pre-NAB press conference.
And Jan's teasing us again, but it sounds like she's saying that the camera will be more along the lines of the DVX, and less along the lines of the Super-8 "ray gun" balsa-wood mockup. Well, we can at least *hope* that's what she's saying! ;D

I'm not sure I'd bother with the anamorphic lens at this point. If you're already looking ahead to the new cam, save your $800 toward that purchase.
but I'm also looking for a fisheye and a mattebox... but I agree with the fact that the hdx will have 16x9 chips so I won't need the anamorphic so I just have to save my 800 for that cam.
