believe it or not: i bought the DVX100A seven weeks ago for euro 3050 and i am happy i did it despite the HVX200.

1. because i can work with the best sub-10.000 camera and use 25p. I can sell my "talent" and make myself a name with 25p here in my area where i am more or less alone using it. so when the HVX200 comes out whoever buys it and uses 25p...it will be old news to the clients!

2. i bought stuff for the DVX that i will be able to use on: dvxuser.com batteries, a formatt 4x4 mattebox (with 72mm adapter ring; will that be the same?), a glidecam 2000pro (i hope the HVX is not too heavy)

3. the HVX won´t be out until december here. so i would be stuck with my old Betacams until then.

now i only need to find out if the bayonet stays the same before i add 0.6 or 1.6 converters....

The bayonet will almost definitely not stay the same. Even if it did, you likely wouldn't want to try to re-use a standard-def wide-angle or teleconverter on a high-def camera. HD glass has to be manufactured to a lot stricter tolerances, the SD lens accessories would likely result in some image degradation.
 
aha.. didnt miss them. just look at so much that its hard to remember whos who.. lol nice stuff.. anyway treat us to some more when you get .. uh mooooore time. :)
