Any comments folks? Will V4/5 be able to use it? Ah, more codecs more issues - Sony buys SoFo video products . . . go figure . . . .

In camcorder user (UK) JVCs GRHD1 is to be stripped of its hi def recording ability and renamed the GR-PD1 and will record 625 progressive with SLR Mic inputs with phantom power expected to sell for around £2500 and I have just bought the Canon GL2 OR XL2 if you live here. Oh well

Thanks Filmy seems there may be editing problems with the GRPD1. Long Live the GL2 !

Indeed I am Indeedy yes indeed I have been playing with my new toy now and its so good I cant seem to get outa film mode with 16:9 even though its not real and the effect is created electronically I think you would be very hard pressed to tell the difference ( I have seen the comparisons) using an anamorphic lens and film mode wow Ihave been recording with my new marantz pmd 650 combining the film and sound and I cannot believe how good it is OK I may have zapped my yearly budget for everything but this is worth every penny to be this enlightened...
