Panasonic AG-HMC150 a new AVCHD cam

At a press show the 14 of february Panasonic released some information about a new camera, the AG-HMC150 wich I guess is going to compete with the newly popular Sony XDCAM EX.The new panasonic cam records onto SD cars, in the AVCHD format.This is the list of formats it is going to support: 1080/60i, 1080/50i, 1080/30p, 1080/25p, 1080/24p native; 720/60p, 720/50p, 720/30p, 720/25p, 720/24p native; and it is 50Hz/59.94Hz switchable.
THe camera has XLR input for your microphones, USB and HDMI (d-terminal) and more.
Another camera that is goin to come from pnasonic thi fall, is the shoulder-mount AG-HMC70 the price is going to be around 2,496$ this camera is also going to the HD in the AVCHD format
Panasonics say that this is not an replacement for the HVX-200, and they are also telleing that they are going to announce another thing this april, I guess around the NAB2008 :-) so it could be that they have a new HVX-200 type camera.
