Does anyone know when this will be available? Also, will one of the current housings work with this camcorder?
When will the Sony HDR-HC7 be available?

I've heard dates between February 12th and March 5th. Anyone else hear different? I hate it when a manufacturer discontinues an existing model (HC1 and HC3) and then waits 45-60 days to release its replacements (HC5 and HC7).
According to the Sony website.
Expected to ship on or before February 19, 2007.

Crewboat... not to worry. You will "always" shoot with "obsolete" equipment given the way technology advances. Your HC3 will be fine. I'm pretty sure the HC5 and HC7 have very similar form factors to the HC3, so they may work in your Gates housing. One good reason to look for a non-dedicated housing (mine has accommodated every Sony video I've owned from Hi-8 to HD).
I thought about that but I really liked the Gates. I looked at a picture of the HC7 while I was holding the HC3 it looks close but I am sure with my luck it will be just different enough not to work. Maybe Gates could modify the HC3 housing?????drbill:
I would assume they could modify the housing to work with the HC7. Fortunately mine won't need modification, although it won't access all the features like the Gates.
