Yes, the GY-HD250U ($10,995). The European version is known as the
GY-HD251E. The GY-HD250U can be used in conjunction with the optional
KA-HD250U Studio Adapter ($3000) and the 26-pin RM-P210U Multicore
Remote (100 meters) Camera Control Unit ($1995) for studio operation.
There are even optional adapters ($799 each) for using 1/2-inch
(ACM-12) and 2/3-inch (ACM-17) lenses with the GY-HD250U.
The GY-HD250U can also be purchased without lens as the GY-HD250CHU
($9995). Canon offers the KT20X5BKRS 20x zoom lens ($9800). Another
choice is the Fujinon Th17X5BRM 17x zoom ($10,800).

It's certainly an upgrade path.

Absolutely.

Yes, the XH G1 ($6999), but it doesn't offer interchangeable lens
capability, which may or may not be an issue for you.
