Any word on prosumer-grade HDs or DX100 competition yet?

I've read lots of good stuff in this group (as well as Adam Wilt's site)
about the DX100. Also, there have been hints of "affordable" HD cams and
other 24p digicams similar to the DX100 "on the horizon".

Any new news on this? Any prototypes? Any "announced" models (with model
numbers I can google)?

I have decided that, for what I like to shoot, I want 24P. If I'm going to
invest any "real" money in a new cam, I STRONGLY believe it should be HD, as
well (unless the cost is prohibitive).

Gotta keep up with the times

 

The only "affordable" HD cameras I know about are the JVC GR-HD1U &
JY-HD10U. They don't do 24P. They have lots of technical limitations,
to keep the cost relatively low, I guess. Good place to read
information from actual owners of these cameras:

An inexpensive HD camera with the features of the Panasonic DVX100 would
be very nice.
