Jiri and Donatello,

I know that the Varicam is about 10 times the cost of the HVX. The glass is better. The chips are bigger. I agree totally. The varicam does not record a better codec than the HVX. Sure the from end is better, but it does not record a better codec?

ON shooting variable speed. Think like a producer for a minute. "hey I can get beautiful slomo images in HD out of that little camera, Great! I'm only going to have two or three shots like that....Blah, blah, blah." You see where I am going. This camera release is going to bring all of the best features the Varicam has to offer to the masses. Will producers shell out the Varicam rates when the HVX will "do, roughly but not exactly the same thing"

This is the slippery slope that Panasonic has gone on with this release. I can only hope that the HVX draws more attention to the Varicam (which I happen to think is a great camera) but I would hate to see it go the other way. Also, If P2 is so fantastic why did they not implement it into the "H" release of the Varicam.

This is false market segmentation. Does Panasonic think that people will believe that the Varicam
