DV.com has a preview of the Sony HVR-V1U online. I’m very interested in this camera, as it seems like a pretty solid player in a part of the market that has long by dominated by “subpar” options. I’ll be eager to get a chance to play with one. The DV.com article makes mention of the new CMOS chip setup in this camera. I think it will be interesting to see how the indie-film types adapt to the minor differences inherent in CMOS imaging. Curious.

By the way, I’ve got a bunch of reviews coming next week, including the Zoom H4, Sanyo Xacti HD1A, Presonus Firepod, Microsoft Zune and a few other cool toys.
