Yes, I noticed it was listed as a new item on the Panasonic site, but couldn’t find any “these are the new features and why it’s better” section. So, what advantage does this 12 bit give over the 10 if it can only record 8 to tape? Being that I’m going to save five thousand more (even after the rebates) buying a B-stock 27F I’d like to know if it really matters.
