finely tuning focus or creating massive depth of field and soft backgrounds with ease, i think the focus ring is actually better than that of some of the more expensive p2 cameras panasonic offers.

the recording media is very affordable, i bought to 16gb class 6 sdhc cards when i purchased this camera and so far is the easiest format to use especially if you come from a background using dslr's.
from www.amazon.com
to put such tiny sensors in a $3500 is poor, cheap engineering especially when slr have larger sensors, shoot hd and don't cost this much.

sdhc cards are available from numerous vendors and they are easier to find and less expensive than the memory stick.
from www.amazon.com
so if you are used to the old standard recorders, you may find that the camera is the cheapest part of the upgrade to higher resolution movies.
from www.amazon.com
the additional battery is a must, so factor that in the price.

if you need a high end editing program your stuck with buying a suite from adobe which is very expensive or wait until a different software is updated.
