Shoot Out HERE!
TRV30 Home-Page.

This Laptop is about as thick as most Laptop LIDS! Less than an inch and to me looking and holding it... looks about a Half an inch and no more than a pound. That may be over stating, but you get the picture... so wafer thin and seemingly light as a feather. AMEN!

Oh Yeah... Got the Complete English Translation of the Owner's Manuals for

Canon Surprise... PC120 Canon Clone! ...HERE

Pana's New Dual Use Cam

Coming soon to a local Pana dealer near you will be a new PV-EX100 which looks like a miniature TRV900 as it is smaller than even the PC110 and has a huge screen, MPEG4, Blue Tooth, Mega Pixel 1.55m rating, USB port UXGA pictures, SD/MMC flash mem, Leica Dicomar Video Lens, easier controls than PC110, slower smoother zoom than Canon and quieter and lower Lux than JVC.

Dual use is that it is a Two Piece 
modular unit. The bottom piece clips onto the top transforming the TRV900 looking cam into almost an Elura look! The bottom piece is the Digital Camera ! more later this month @ the WEVA show...

PV-EX100

Yo, meister... 
TRV1000 & 256 Memory Stick?  How much longer? 

I now believe there will BE no TRV1000 as the VX2000 is set to go below $1999 and THAT would have been a TRV1000 price point.... In 1999 when they announced all new 21st Century Millennium changes the TRV1000 would be set between a $799 PC9, a $999 TRV30, a $1999 TRV1000 and a $2999 VX2000 and even
the $3999 PD150.

Competition has changed the landscape dramatically, Pana MX is taking both Canon & Sony out with the garbage in the Home market... Not a pretty sight!

Sony and Canon's GL series are in trouble and its back to the design boards till NEXT year.... Anyone want to take bets? 256MB Memory Stick may funny enough be less than the current 128MB !

WEVA convention Aug 28th thru 30th in Vegas @ Bally's Casino will have some surprises that I have been asked already NOT to comment on. I will be there with a cam around my neck... ask but don't touch! I should have a ton of toys.. More when I won't get into too much 'Loose Canon'  trouble... 

New Sony DCR-PC120 HERE!
WE HAVE IT NOW!

Question... meister does an XL-1s mean a new Sony?
Yes, a PD150a Only with Sept 11th events, do not hold your breath!

Maybe VX2000a?
Me thinks.... not!

Why doesn't Pana have a MX3000 in USA?
Do they think the PV951 is a match for a GL-1 or VX2000? No, that 
would be Gross Ineptitude. But, on second thought they could be 
suffering from... naw, I don't want to go down that path, not right now... 
not again! L

More to come this month...
