I thought I read that it had a 60gb external non removable hardrive. Maybe not.

bob, you're partially correct. There is an external 60GB HDD available for the cam, but it's removeable, and is optional, doesn't come with the camcorder. Additionally, it works on any camcorder. Wait'll Sony makes more info available, you'll find a few other surprises.

Doing a direct link seems to not work, but surf through www.sonybiz.net until you find the HDV pro page and you'll see the drive. It mounts to the handle, etc., of the HDV cameras (and DV, DVCam, too). This link may work:

I think one 60gb drive is better than those P2 cards.

It was early on. Either I read it wrong or it was posted wrong. I could never find it again. Thanks for clearing it up.

Probably cheaper too!!

The HVR-DR60 drive price according to Giroud Francois in this thread is 1700 Euros (or about $2125). Check out the brochure at http://www.sonybiz.net/images/produc...DR60(brch).pdf

Chris, that price is likely high, I suspect you'll soon be hearing a real number/final price. should be falling into the $30-$35.00 per GB bracket if it's gonna be competitive.
