CamcorderInfo has a picture gallery up of the Sony HVR-HD1000. I like the recessed, but accessible battery compartment. However, I’m not as sure about the LCD screen placement. The pictures get almost every angle of the camcorder, so go get your sneak peek.

Also, the IEBA blog has a good preliminary Sony HVR-HD1000 review in which he comments on each part of the camcorder as it was described in the press release. Good stuff.
