oK. If you're like me, you are going to want to find a camera that has all the beeps and whistles and all the ease of functionality. Here it is. Sony has gone and produced a true 24p HD camera, with variable frame rates. It features MPEG HD and DVCAM switchable recording with three 1/2-inch HD CCDs, and is capable of recording 1080 video lines of multiple frame rates at a high bit rate of up to 35 Mbps, AND in the well used DVCAM format. It also provides four channels of high-quality uncompressed audio. This provides an SD to HD migration path to a complete HD-based environment. It satill has the standard SD, but the instant random access and reply of clips, IT network capability, and Proxy data operation, are completely brand new options. It's clear to me that they're goal here is provide and all-in-one camera, and in my eyes, it's just what Sony has done.

Sony HDW F900-H
Sony has done it again! Wow! They've taken the "well respected" F900 HDCAM Camcorder one step further. First off, they've added a few improvements, like a lighter chassis and a stereo microphone, and they finally gave the camera an HD-SDI Output. But under the hood of this beauty, it is all F900!
This camcorder records images in accordance with the CIF (Common Image Format) standard, which specifies a sampling structure of 1920 x 1080 active pixels (horizontal x vertical).
As well as recording at 24P, the HDW-F900H camcorder is switchable to record at 25P, 29.97P progressive scan, but also at 50 or 59.94 Hz scan. The camcorder also provides a comprehensive range of features for those 'creative' shooting ideas, such as enhanced gamma, and colorimetry controls. The design of this thing is quite compact and lightweight, and hance gives users a high level of mobility and comfort when shooting.
