New Varicam
Anyone seen or shot with the new “H” version of the Varicam? Anyone compared it to the previous model? Is my one year old Varicam old hat?

Chris,
I’d like to hear such a report as well, but I don’t think the “F” will be obsceleted until the D5 Varicam arrives. Of course it seems like the whole landscape is in flux with the announcement of the Thomson/GV Infinity at IBC. This system, which records (or rather “stores”) on non-propriatory Iomega REV and compact flash media would seem to render the P2 Varicam dead on arrival, although the issue of 24/25p remains, and whether JPEG2000 proves to be acceptable for camera origination, especially at the $20K price point and 45 minutes of HD media at $60 list.
