You seem to look for a coat by a button....

There is 2 versions of Cameye II out there anyway: v1.4 and 1.6 ...

My guess is that he is frustrated with the fact that most of the Sony models on the market don't have a LANC port. The HC96 does. Otherwise you have to step up to the HDV cameras to get the LANC.

If neither of those options suit you, start looking around for a used PC330, PC350, PC1000 or one of the used HCx6 series. The HCx8 series that they sell now just sucks

We just bought a Sony DCR-HC32 that has a LANC port. Only used it for one day of Tandem's but it seems to work okay (see new thread re: over exposure).

But if I remember right, the HC 32 and 42 both have LANC ports.

Yes they both do.

*most* of the Sony/Canon cams that use tape offer LANC, only a few cams don't. With AVCHD coming on hard, that'll change, as LANC isn't required as part of the licensing of the mechanism.
