Footage from JVC HD cam

Does anyone know where I could download footage from the new JVC HD camcorder? (GR-HD10)

It compresses to Mpeg2. I was hoping to get some of that Mpeg2 HD footage, Play with it in Vegas and Render to Windows Media 9. Wanted to do some comparisons.

Thanks,
Al

There's not a lot out there, but you might start looking here and here.

Thanks Dennis. Lots of good info. Have you played around with this camera at all?

Opinion?

Only briefly at NAB. My personal opinion is that the footage looks overly compressed and has a few single-CCD artifacts, but it's not too bad. I think they'd sell way more cameras if they up the MPEG-2 bitrate to 25 Mbps (it's currently 19) and slowed down the frame captures to 24 fps intead of 30p. The additional 60% of bandwidth could go to good use.
