This is a very nice high-end camera and offers all you'll ever need. The only drawbacks are the weight (try to carry it around for 2-3 hours!), the extra batteries needed for 72fps and the only semi-automatic exposure - I tend to forget to set the f-stop correctly since all my other cameras do have auto-exposure. In other words: This camera is the best you'll get for Single8 when you're an experienced cameraman and when you don't want to take "snap-shots". But you'll most likely get yourself another (smaller) Single8-camera with auto-exposure when you plan to shoot your next vacation on Single8.

by the guy who did the ZC1000 review.

There are a few differences between this "new" model and the original model. None of these things effect the footage or general operation of the camera. New or old model, you'll be happy either way.
 * 1) On the new model the c-mount is reinforced (?) to handle bigger lenses. I've very rarely used a different lens on this than the Fujinon, so I can't attest to this for sure, but supposedly it's true.
 * 2) You'll notice if you run the old models in "reverse", that the frame counter can get stuck between two frames (This never happens in "forwards"). On a couple of the new models I've used this has been fixed. However, this is easy to deal with on the old model because if the counter gets stuck between two frames, the frame you're on is always the one on top.
 * 3) On the back of the new model by where the handle would be connected, there's a description of what each pin on the plug does.
 * 4) The Lens on the old model has a zoom handle that can be screwed into/removed from a few places on the lens. The new model has a fixed zoom handle that folds down. However you can find an old model camera with a new model lens and visa versa.
 * 5) Minor cosmetic differences.
