All I can say is having a Digital 8 camcorder on set yesterday (OK it was a corporate video, but it still took us two hours to hoise two huge blue canvasses to create a backdrop/set) complemented the BetaCam SP camera nicely.

But one thing that must drive all of you guys bonkers, aren't you just salivating for a steadicam style gimble based orientable viewfinder? A viewfinder that no matter where you position the camcorder, the viewfinder stays at the same angle and therefore the monitor doesn't change in contrast and color intensity?
