Sony 24P HVR-H1U HDV camcorder announced

Here is the Camera I am planning on buying to start shooting for fun. Sony has announced a true 24P camcorder aimed at professionals. Going the HVX-200 route, you can record simultaneously to tape and/or an attachable hard-disk recording unit (HVR-DR60). The DR60 also has a 14-second buffer which will record 14-seconds up until the user presses the record button. That sounds handy. Other features of this new camcorder include:

• A timecode preset function
• A TC Link to synchronize time codes
• Two XLR microphone inputs for independent sound recording
• A Camera Profile feature to adjust the camera settings of multiple cameras for multi-camera operations using MemoryStick Duo™ media
• A 3.5-inch (viewable area, measured diagonally) Clear Photo LCD plus™ viewing screen
