New panasonic Range

[Wraith]

Just seen the new pannys. e-55, e-65, e-85

Are they all basicaly the same machine obviously the 85 has a hdd and the 65 has the inputs for camera's that the 55 doesnt.

Are these the only differences between the 3 machines?

Since avland put them on pre-order the spec has changed from being Progressive scan Pal only, to progressive scan Pal/NTSC. Can anyone confirm this?

.....says Prog Scan Pal Only at the moment.

Is it NTSC Prog Scan as well?

I'd be surprised if it was just PAL progressive - the machines are based on the new Panny DVD players which offer both PAL and NTSC. AvLand site says they all offer "Progressive Scan (PAL and NTSC)" now as well.

....says PAL prog scan only...

Is there another page with specs on that says NTSC as well?

That link now says "Progressive Scan (PAL & NTSC)". Bottom feature on the list.

I also heard that the Direct Navigator has been changed, and a new recording mode that allows 8 hours recording on a RAM.
