<a href="http://www.dpreview.com"; target="_blank">www.dpreview.com</a> had a news bit about that camera...yet another Sony storage medium to support...yeesh.
Thanks Eugene. The only other place I've seen any details beyond the press release is Go2Mac.*
I don't mind Sony playing around with all kinds of storage mediums, so long as they're widely available. It's still a nightmare finding the dinky CD-Rs for the new Mavicas. And Memory Sticks are still too expensive and short on capacity, though I really like them. And MiniDV cassettes are still much too expensive ($15 with chip!).
I'd kill for a Network Handycam with the 5GB hard drive from the iPod inside.
If Apple ever does come out with its own digital camcorder, I hope it has a bigger lens than that Appele mock-up. I hope it's a conventional camcorder shape and not one of those upright ones...
I don't like the way the newer smaller, upright camcorders feel.

* What's with all the stories on headphones?
His newest is a really sweet bastification of an iPod married to a digicam!

To tell you the truth, the size of the GL1 was the best.
