Anyone who has not checked out Serious Magic’s DV rack (which will be HVX compatible any day now) is missing out on the killer solution for about 5 of the short comings of this camera. A killer calibrated monitor (flip-able for the prime lens mounts), meters up the wazoo, recording right to internal or external hardisk where you can name the clips, etc etc. all operating on a fast laptop, hence portable. All of this including a fast PC for less than the cost of a firestore. No brainer. Check it out and wait for the release.
