At Portland last weekend I noticed a small remote camera perched on top of the catch fencing. The camera body was about the size of a three-pack of video tapes, and the lens assembly was around the size of a coke can. Closer inspection revealed this to be an HDTV camera. It was externally powered (which is how I first spotted it), and had no record capability, but I was still impressed by the small size as compared to a BetaCam.
