yes, sony is indeed releasing consumer HD camcorders capable of xvYCC.

question is how to enjoy the benefits?

it will require hdmi 1.3
i believe both TVs and HD camcorders will be swiftly brought up to the same imaging standards. but sound is an issue. it seems the hdmi output from the HD camcorders will only pass through stereo sound even if the recording is 5.1-ch.

no bd player is capable of playing back BD-R/RE.

so that leaves avchd format on dvd discs. will avchd format on dvd disc playback on BDP-S1 or PS3 allow you to enjoy benefits of xvYCC on a compatible TV?
