Is there any data rates mentioned for the new pocket camera, I don't seem to see any.

I believe the data rates are the same for all three of these new Panasonic AVCHD cams... 13, 9 and 6 Mbps.

The new Full HD (1920x1080i) on the Panasonic cams is CBR @ 13 Mbps. The old encoding of 1440x1080i was VBR.
