Just got my 400 and didn't see any other post about it, so I guess that's what makes it official.
This is my first HD and Flash base CC, so right away notice the small size. I'm charging the battery at the moment, but while tethered tried a quick pan around the room and a few still shots. Full battery charge is 160 minutes.
First impressions:
I have pretty big hands, but the menu navigation was tolerable. Below the screen are 5 small buttons that you use in conjunction with the touch scroll bar on the left edge of the screen. My boys like that the scroll bar lights up blue and looks like a Stargate Atlantis door control panel. Zoom can be controlled by the scroll bar, but it is cumbersome compared to the rocker switch on top of the body.
Found that the small light next to the lens only activates for still shots.
The zoom control is quite handy and very smooth and speed progresive with pressure applied.
It looks like most on screen visual indicators are optional. Initially like the mic level meters overlaid on the video. Maybe that will get old.
I'll comment on the video after taping a marching band / football game tomorrow.
