so cool. Seems like Panasonic vs Sony so far. Unfortunately this AX33 doesn't have 120 fps. Oh well, i am just another demanding consumer! haha.

Price is USD 999.

Is this better or the Panasonic WX970 better ?

You should hold on to your VG30 cos it might be discontinued. That will be a shame.
At that price point and handiness, no other camera has a longer battery life!
Not to mention XLR expandability with the XLR-K2M accessory.
I don't think AX33 will come close to the low-light performance as the VG30 surely.
You can expect AX33 around March.

The WX970 certainly has more functions such as pan-tilt cradle, 120fps, HDR mode. But the chasis looks just like the W850 from last year which is not the best plastic. The Sony in comparison is built like a tank.
Don't hold your breath for the Pany though. They usually take a longer time to hit the shelves.
