This has been covered in the video NGs recently - do a

google search on "JVC GR-HD1 camera". It appears to

have many of the normal limitations of 1-CCD cameras,

plus a few of its own, in addition to doing video in

an as yet "orphan" format for easy/cheap editing and

mastering. If you can afford a $3000 "toy", buy it,

and then tell us all about it...;-)
