Marty speaks with Steve Golub as Panasonic announces

true HD successor to the popular but aging AG-DVX100. The
$6000 AG-HMC150 shares triple CCDs, optical image
stabilization, and audio capability with the DVX100, but
adds a variety of HD formats including 1080/60i, 1080/30p,
and 1080/24p. We're there with the details in this short but
flavorful podcast:
