Sony MicroMV?

[Zennie 0]

Just saw the new Sony MicroMV camera.
The thing is tiny! They say quality is comparable to mini-DV, but I'm just wondering if any camera fliers have looked into it.
Is this going to replace the PC-100/110 on camera flier helmets?

The quality is not as good as DV yet.

Are higher quality versions going to be coming out fairly soon (like in the next year)?

Also memory sticks

Mem Sticks are a Sony product and they aren't what they are cracked up to be. It is quite expensive, not very large and work only in Sony devices.
Compact Flash Cards, Multi-media Cards and Smart Media Cards, however, aren't a Sony product. Many manufactors across the industry use these solid state memory cards in many different products. Since it isn't a one manufacture thing, they are relatively cheap and already you can purchase some obscene sizes for you different memory requirements.

There's a good review here

One big problem is that when you come down off a jump (!) you can't firewire footage to anyone else nor put their footage onto your tape because the digital format of the IP7 is different.
