Just the plain facts on the HVX200
 

looks like a cool camera from what i've read & seen from photos, physically very similar to the DVX100.

can anyone tell me the definite specs & features on this camera (at least what we know so far)

it has a mini DV tape mech, does this mean only standard def onto tape & HD onto P2/HDD?

"does this mean only standard def onto tape & HD onto P2/HDD"

Well, it means DV onto tape.
DV, SD, & HD onto P2/HDD.

I've put together a page with all the info I've collected so far:

Hope it helps.

also it says 16:9 chips. So it would have to record 16:9 to tape too.

Hi
Anybody knows about the lens size. I mean 72mm or 82mm?

Luis, you may want to put up a link to the article we did on dvxuser into videoindie. I don't really want to repeat everything, but there are tons of new details in it.

Way ahead of you Barry.
I had a link up there before the article was posted.
:)

Thanks for the great article.
I appreciate all the work you guys are doing to keep us informed.
