I haven't seen it displayed in any cam shops yet. It's not out yet, as far as I know. Christmas maybe?

Yeah, it's supposed to be out in December.

Yes, we have several threads on it already; I posted about it back on the day it was announced (see this thread). We'll have pro user reviews online here at DV Info Net as they become available,

>>Yeah, it's supposed to be out in December.<<

NAB would only be 3 months away from this date, Sony had better hope that no one comes out with a better camera by then (even though I think this cam is inferior to the DVX 100 as it is.)

Thanks for the info! :)

>Not exactly cheap. The Panasonic AJ-SDX900 with the new FireWire connectivity and native editing DVCPRO-50 seems more appealing...

yes, but Sony uses very high-level camera part on these camcorders. At IBC they sayd that cheaper models are in work, as also HD version of XDCAM.

Perfect timing! TokyoVideoFestival
 

Thanks for the "heads-up". Originally a 40 min. program from 2001, I cut it to 18 minutes and just made the entry deadline.

It was filmed over several months chronicling the Miyazaki Jc's efforts to plan and execute a Beach festival and stimulate the economy of local beach community. Human interest, in Japanese. There is no online version but if it gets accepted then please take a look. Did you enter any programs?

Thanks, Vic

Damn! I missed the deadline.

This festival had my name all over it, too!

Can we get a special festival/contest section going?

The ultimate screen saver
 

If you're in New York, check out the SonicVision exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.

It's basically a super high-tech version of the screen savers that pulse to music on your PC - except they're projecting the whole thing onto a planetarium dome at 180 degrees - with professional production video and sound quality.

Interesting stuff. I'm afraid to find out the cost.

Perhaps a true 16x9 is on the way to replace it.

Dell's new player ... as a recorder?
 

Check it out - The Dell DJ Player

It has USB 2.0 and I think it works both ways, also has a mic for voice recording, and stores 15GB with the basic model for $249.00 - now if only they'd put in a mic jack.

Would it be difficult to convert the built-in mic into a jack?

New computer revolution on the way?
 

There is a similar HD based MP3 player with mic and optical in. It records up to 320kb MP3, I believe. It was made by a company called River or something like that.
