Re: Sony HVR V1U vs Panasonic AG-HVX200

"Panasonic paint a rosy picture of HVX200 sales, but I think that the V1, with true 24P, recording from the latest CMOS chips with far higher native resolution that the HVX200's souped-up SD CCD's is going to hit HVX200 sales very hard. "

Seems to me that people who like the HVX200 don't care much about any HDV-based camera, so Panasonic's sales aren't likely to be affected much. The HVX200 appeals to people who plan to do broadcast TV projects, while HDV is good for long-form work delivered directly to customers.
