....and the 28mbps cap, which is so insanely low compared to the power of the technology in there.

Yes, it is crazy. The 24Mbs AVCHD codec was first seen in 2006 when a 1Gb card would cost a hundred dollars and the card write speed wouldn't allow anything more. It is an anachronism which is totally out of sync with today's technology.

Precisely! You can get a 128GB SanDisk solid-state drive for 69 pounds now. Only BMD seems to have had the sense. Then again, Sony would only ever do this by introducing proprietary drives I reckon.

Interesting times. Instead of letting pro-customers buy a Sony consumer cam and making it "pro" by buying costly accessories like rig, monitor, audiorecorders aso, they just re-box it themselves and earn the money.
