The new Panasonic MX500 Camcorder

Has anyone tried the Panasonic MX500. I have the MX350 and was considering upgrading to the MX500 and would appreciate any feedback from anyone who's tried it.

You can find the details at:

I mentioned this in a previous post.

What I don't understand is that you can't seem to buy a 500 anywhere, but everyone is still selling the 'old' 350.

...and no one seems to have noticed !

 

Actually your post was about the Panasonic NX8 which is reviewed at:

Basically the NX8 is a 1024K single CCD version of the MX300/MX350. The Mx500 uses three 800K CCD's, along with some 'pixel shifting' which, in theory, should get you a higher resolution image.

I'm sure the MX350 is still available because people are clearing stock of it, and the MX500 will appear shortly.

Two weeks until NZ release of MX500. I imagine your release schedules are very similar (as they're souced from same factory).
