Pentax K7


Something that looks quite promising:

720p MJPEG video
30 fps
57 Mbits/s data rate (from hearsay)
External mic input



Individual frames from the video were crisp and sharp, with the effects of JPEG compression only noticeable in areas of subtly contrasting detail. (The effect there was similar to digicam still images recorded at a medium quality JPEG setting.) When panning, the only loss of detail we observed was that resulting from motion blur, when the video demanded a slower effective shutter speed; image quality during panning was far better than we've seen from cameras using the AVCHD recording format.
