JVC GC-PX10

It doesn't say what the aperture is on the lens... that might be a deal breaker if it is like f3.5-5.4... I doubt it will be f2 or f2.8... but who knows

The good thing about mp4 is that you do not need a super-computer like with AVCHD .

When this camera hits the US market, I am sure they are going to go after the sports enthusiast, trainers, and daddy's that want to improve their son's performance in sports.

Up To 720 fps And 720p Resolution. There are other high-speed camera solutions on the market that offer high frame rates, but often at resolutions that are less than SD raster size. The TS3Cine offers up to 720 frames per second at 720p HD resolution; it also can shoot 1280x1024 at 500 fps and up to 20,000 fps at reduced resolution. This is quite a significant achievement at this size and cost point.

For video compression, AVCHD uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AVC) standard, supporting a variety of standard, high definition, and stereoscopic (3D) video resolutions. MP4 is the file extension for MPEG-4.

Jason, I owned a camera that records MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 @ 24mbs and it is much less compressed than the AVCHD (.mft files) in a Panasonic or Canon consumer camera. My 2 core pc cannot handle AVCHD but handles MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 just like HDV. files. I use Premier CS4.

Anyway, at this time, I wouldn't buy this camera unless it goes down to about $699 USD. Money is better spent on a Canon T2i, T3i, 60D, Nikon D5000, or Sony A65.

I don't like the f2.8-4.5, that sucks.
