Introducing SONY's very first PRO HD Camcorder using Digital HDVS cassettes, it is called the HDW-790 and the price is not what you could call affordable...40.000€ !
12bit A/D converter (previous version was 10bit), In/Out HD-SDI port (for uncompressed capture), AES/EBU input(for digital audio), slow shutter (among others)... all those features that we don't understand but sound like music to the ears of the professionnals !
