I concur with TingSern's findings with Neat Video.
A while back, I've praised Neat Video.

Hmmm,

Jan (and Panasonic) will now take the easy route :-). Buy HVX202 with 1/3" CCD and we throw in Neat Video for free :-). Engineers can sleep a little longer - no need to come out with HVX202A (with 1/2" CCD or bigger). Or even better, incorporate Neat Video's algorithm into one ASIC - and put that chip inside the new revision of HVX202 - so, no need to run software on PC or MAC. Ha ha ha.

Funny, most of my shoots I use enough light and the "Bpress Gamma" setting and my footage has very little noise.

Does it look like a 2/3" camera? Of course not, but it certainly works.

ANY 1/3" camera will exhibit SOME noise in the darks, its a physical limitation of the chip size.

Obviously. But if I compare it to the Canon XH-A1 or something similar, the HVX200 is much noisier at comparable gain settings. I agree that BPress Gamma does help.

Where's your answer to Sony? Please, give me a reason to stick with P2, even if it's just "we've got some great news that we can't tell you about right now." Please? Because right now I'm close to jumping ship.
From Panasonic, I expect a close to EX type machine with AVC Intra as a recording format. Personally this is what I'm waiting for. Intra will be the bees knees once it gets rolling

Do not ever forget that despite the lack of Panasonic cameras being released, those that ARE released, have almost always been groundbreaking. I don't doubt this next offering will have as much of an impact.

Time will tell.
