<<<-- Originally posted by Bill Pryor : What I read was that they're both 1/2" chip cameras. The 5000 has more and different features, but they both use the same chips. Is that wrong? I did recently read one reference that mentioned the 5000 as having incorporated some of the features of the Gy300. So does that mean the 5000 has 1/3" chips instead of 1/2"? -->>>

Totally wrong information. The 1/2 inch chips are different. They are made by SONY. REAL LIGHT SENSITIVE. The DSP is now 12-yes, like the 300-the only similarity. AAMOF-the ENTIRE camera is different-only shares a similiar (but not the same) appearance.

Read my post at www.abcdv.com for the differences between the cameras. Good luck if you decide to get this camera. So far no glitches or problems.
