There's been a lot of buzz among the video cognoscenti about the Panasonic
PV-DV953. It's the first 3CCD camcorder targeting the consumer price point,
at around $1,500 in the US. MacMall is listing it at $1,199, but it's not in
stock yet. Latest projection from them is 11 July, but previous projected
dates keep coming and going.
