I'm in the same place you are. None of the three cameras really knocks my socks off in every way. The HVX seems to have what I think I'll use most for the money. Very tough call though. (Gimme JVC's size and lens mount, the HVX's codec and frame rates and Canon's Digital Out).

That camera is probably on the way next.

I think I'm in the same position as jeff and joel. No camera is really calling me, but if 6K all of a sudden fell out of the sky and landed on my lap, I'd buy the HVX after I got out of the hospital. While the codec sounds great and P2 recording is neat, the only real reason I'm interested in this camera is a selectable frame rate. As a narrative filmmaker thats worth its weight in gold. If the JVC had it I'd want that, CA split screen and all. Same for the Canon. Everything else on the HVX is just a neat add on. Anyone else with me on this?

Maybe it's just me...

I've had some bad luck with DV tape, and oddly it seems to happen during my best footage.

I'm really looking forward to P2.

I do like the HD100, but I can not live with its CA and SSE issues, not to mention I'm not all that thrilled with HDV.

I've seen some great looking footage from the JVC, but I've also seen its shortcomings.
The HVX offers so much capability for its price and is flexible to use in many different formats.
