Maybe it's just me but I can't see the sensor size in this press release.

"The new CMOS chips in the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 measure 1/6-inch and have gross pixel count of 560,000 (effective pixel count of 520,00)."

aieeeee! 1/6" sensors. Behold the HD pinhole camera. And with that many effective pixels we are looking at bi-axial interpolation. Not a bad thing really in a consumer cam, but those small sensors are a deal breaker for me.
