Sony To Introduce Sub-$5000 CCD HDV Camcorder

24P HD finally comes to the home market. According to this article at Camcorderinfo.com, Sony is about to announce a three CCD hi-def camera for the "prosumer" market. Looks pretty good, so you might wanna break open your piggie bank soon.

The above mentioned camera, I believe, is not 24P, just HD. This is still a huge step in the prosumer arena.

You're right. I saw this:

Another issue that is going to be raised with this camcorder is 24 frames progressive scan video (24P), which produces results much more similar to a film camera than conventional interlaced 30 frames per second NTSC video.

But did not notice this...

We are unaware of whether or not the Sony camcorder displayed at CeBiT records 24 frames progressive scan video, however it is unlikely because it is not mentioned in the press release or on the camcorder itself.
