Thanks, Steve! Some details:

Its two HD modes are 1280 x 720 p30 and 1536 x 1024 p30.

Records Motion JPEG to SDHC cards.

I'm not able to quickly find out what the max. clip length limit is though.

Has an external audio input (stereo mini-jack).

Body-only price is $1300.

Quite welcome Chris.

It also allows for aperture changes- but no details as to the extent of other manual controls while recording or AF functions: interesting nonetheless.
