Also, I have noticed that the Panasonic website is very careful not to list what the 13x lens zooms to. They boast that it is wider, but if is still only 13x it seems that that would mean that it does not zoom in as far. By my calculations the we have gone from 423 on the HVX to 390 on the HVXa for max zoom. Can anyone tell me if that is an appreciable difference?

Hi Martin:
You might want to take a look at Barry Green's write ups over at DVX User. I could have gotten it wrong but I seem to recall reading in several posts that the chip is not changed in regards to spatial offset, actual lines of resolution recorded, it has always been and still is a 960x540 native imager.
I could be wrong, i have not tested a 200a (I am waiting on the HPX-170) but based upon what those more knowledgeable about it than I am have said, I think that both models feature a cleaner signal than the HVX-200, less noise, more dynamic range but the same resolution.
