This from Photokina, a photograhpers convention is being held in Cologne, Germany:
JVC will add the new GY-HD500 to their DV Pro series. The target market seems to be low-end broadcast with a targeted release of sometime next year.
What they've done is to use the basic mechanism of the GY-DV500 DV camera while replacing the tape drive with a port for a removable hard drive. Pop it out of the cam and into a waiting bay in your computer and all of a sudden IEEE-1394 becomes somewhat redundant.
I wonder how long it'll take for this feature to bleed down to the lower end of the market? Soon, I hope.
I just have one question about these drives: SerialATA?
I wonder because the timing is right and SerialATA drives have much simpler connections, using a very USB-like serial connector with built-in power. This makes them perfect for this kind of application.
