Too bad. It's already been established that 15mbps AVC (or 30mbps MPEG2; pick your poison) is not good enough. It doesn't look too shabby when we're talking about 24fps, multipass-encoded, cleaned-up movie footage, but those are not luxuries camcorders have.
It's really saddening that the last time a digital camcorder video standard with reasonably adequate bandwidth was introduced was the day the first Digital8 DV camcorder hit the scene.
How do you mean? I supposed this would have adequate bandwidth to support recording 1080i at 30fps, Those digital8s where only designed to have enough bandwidth to support recording at like 640 lines or so. It says it also has a high speed function, you can up it to 240fps and record for three seconds, and then make a 12 second high speed video, that would be fun to mess with.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
