Sony's been keeping this very well under wraps. Scared of Orsborne Effect? Shipping this September for US$2000 only!!!. Woe to anyone who just bought a sony prosumer camcorder

some footage here, u have to after the german man finishes talking.

but not very impressive from what i saw. when i first read about it, i was all excited, but now i realise its more for consumer market.
i think a "pro" version with xlr and proper outputs will be out soon

Thanks for the link. The main flak over the announcement is the rigid 1080/60i framerate. PAL countries will probably get 1080/50i. No progressive mode in this day and age?
Counting the days till Canon launches a 5D mark II with proper XLR in a compact camcorder body. Canon, you listening?
