XDCAM HD
Anyone know anything about this XDCAM HD? Is/are the camera(s) out and available? Or does it only exist as a prototype which is taken around to trade shows?
I read that it was at NAB shows or whatever, and in another article I read where 60 of them were delivered, but on the Sony Pro website I don’t see the camera(s). Only the DVCAM version.
Any idea of how it’s image quality compares with any of the HD CAM cameras?
Any ideas on the price of the camera(s)?
What gives?Thanks– Artimus

I talked at SPMTE 05 with Sony Sales.
It is about 35mps,so it is 3 times more compressed then Pana HD.
Personally,speaking of cameras,I like new Pana HDX 400.
It is about US$40,000 and it does in PAL 25p and 50i,NO 24.

I was fortunate to be present when the local Sony rep and the japanese rep dude arrived with the ONE OF A KIND Sony XDcam HD “cinealta (silver)” at my work I work at the PBS in North Carolina. We will likely be ordering 15 or so of these cameras. This one which hadnt been totally tuned up yet was amazing.
