I love this image. To bo honest, I wouldn't miss those cameras. They were heavy as heck and pretty annoying moving with them in crowded areas. Now you can get a more useful and versatile equipment with a reflex camera + handheld + ext. microphone combo.

@Pronak, still better than the form-factor in post #2577484
I've used Panasonic's AG-AC160A models quite a bit, and they're absolutely shit for handheld. Too heavy to hold steady in front of your face like a cheap Handycam, but no shoulder mount, and not enough weight to it for that. I'd take a DXC-D55-like unit back any day, if I had funding for the ungodly cost of the HD variants and decent lenses for 'em. Might end up with Blackmagic's URSA Mini at this point.
