Picked this up on a "rumor" site:
Matsushita, the parent company of JVC, Quasar, Technics and Panasonic has signed a MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) with Sony and Canon about four weeks ago to develop High Definition-DVD Pro-sumer HD-DVD camcorders approximating the size and the weight of today's PV400 with a NEW BLU-RAY disk which will now have a capacity of 8GB up to 50GB will be incorporated. This disk will come in a new compact size for all three companies to put in a mini-HD cam. The highest resolutions of HD will be possible as well as the new standard for Digital Audio of 8cm. The first three models are expected with-in only 6 months. The first will incorporate BLU-RAY @ 15GB which is sufficient for High Definition of just over 1 hour duration. The quality of the BLU-RAY disk will "surpass" that of current DVD's. The prices for this new format will be LESS than current Pro-sumer HD-DV.
The run-on sentences and bad grammar are as I found, copied, and pasted it. It COULD have been clearer.
Interesting, in any case!
