Oh, yes, I did read that thread and it was interesting, the speculation just seemed a little more confident and specific this go-round.

I appreciate the heads up and I changed my post. I’m more used to exaggerating about what the Next Sony Z1u will look like by saying that it will have a Blu-Ray drive.
Sorry if I caused any trouble.

Betsy Moore,
Some interesting information about Sony’s new camcorder has popped up in a few places but there is still no word of 24p so far.

I tend to agree with Paulo that 24p isn't going to happen with this (alleged!) new Sony HDV cam. But if it happens it will be a little bit ground-breaking in that it will be Sony's first Hi-Defintion 3CMOS machine.

Previously they had the PC1000 which was relatively short-lived & 3CMOS but it was Standard-Definition.

Betsy - what can i say? I wouldnt post info that i wasn't pretty confident was going to happen...

But still, it IS Area51 so you really have to form your own opinion really until/if anything official is announced.

Tru, dat, Stu, tru dat...

double posted, not sure why that happened. Sorry.

and i just want to say one more thing that i never post up info on a hunch or for any pretentious sensationalism or any rubbish like that. - too old for stuff like that..
- its just not me at all, i just post up info for the interest of people on this board when i'm pretty darn (i'd use another word starting with dam and ending in n but it'd probably get filtered out...) certain that it's true.

(But of course... caveat/disclaimer and all that stuff..)
