Something to put on a wish list for the future.  I suppose that image stabilization really is a must have for HD video, any camera shake would mean a quick headache and you can't always carry that pesky tripod.  

I wonder how this will compare to professional HD equipment?  Obviously it won't be the same but I would love to see a demonstration.  A good demonstration (and an eventual lower price) might be tip the scales for me.  I spent close to this much for a SVHS camera in the 80's... but that one paid for itself.

Does it come with one of the old style camcorder saddle bags for the firewire external HD farm?

Actually, you could get 3.5 hrs off of an iPod hooked up to it. Should be very interesting in 1 yr or 2, we may see bootleg HD sports broadcasts show up when the original is broadcast on FOX.

That would be awesome!  Maybe the nail in the coffin for the "Fox Widescreen -- High Resolution" scam.

I'm sure some fool will post it on eBay with a starting bid of $1.00.
