HDW : This camcorder comes on the heals of the MC50 and by all accounts will produce a cracking image. This will become to de facto camcorder for the wedding boys and girls. The shallow depth of field will be perfect for producing those wonderful romantic shots only afforded by a SDoF. I notice that it also runs on the new Sony “V” battery system now thats good news as I can supply quick charging double battery chargers and V batteries if needed.
