[David Battistella] "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.

It should go the "other way". Why hold back today's technology, or tomorrow's technology, just because yesterday's is no longer as competitive? The HVX pushes things forward. The next gen of the VariCam will do the same. I fully expect there to be a VariCam II before too long, and I fully expect that it will do 1080p as well as 720p, and that it will be P2-based. And I fully expect that it will offer even more codec choices. At NAB last year Panasonic showed a brief tease of the "big brother" to the HVX, a 2/3" camera with P2 slots and an "HD-D5" label on the side. P2 lets them do things like that; it could easily offer DV, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO-HD/1080, DVCPRO-HD/720, and D5, and H.264 for that matter.

Will that be the VariCam II? Or another, newer, intermediate-priced model? Don't know, but I would expect them to move forward, and with all due respect to the magnificent VariCam, well, if it can't keep up then it'll be replaced with something else that's world-class and pushes even further forward.
