I don't have specs of other cameras to compare but it looks thinner than the EX1 but possibly an inch or so longer.
From what I saw on the stage it seemed really small. I don't think it was 14" long (maybe if including the protruding mic?), it seemed to me to be about the size and shape of a Sony A1 HDV camcorder, maybe a touch bigger, no where near an EX1 from what I could see.

Thanks Tim for doing this, I'm intrigued by this camera. I need a CCD B camera for my EX1. I'm currently testing a Panasonic HMC150, which seems to be in the same class as this although with 1/3" CCDs. However the AVCHD workflow is harsh on Final Cut pro. I don't like the time to transcode to Prores nor the large Prores filesizes when compared to the XDCAM EX codec.

If the image quality of the JVC is at least as good as the HMC150 I'd get it. Will you have a chance to shoot and evaluate with the GY-HM100 and give us a hint about the video quality and feel? Perhaps comparing it to an EX1 or HMC150? Thanks for the help.
