hi plz help me out here

. which one u'll recommend sony hdr s10 or jvc gz hd7? i am planning to buy a hd camera but m stucked in between these two. about jvc, i particularly liked the manual focus ring which is not there in sony. i can do more creative work with it. and about sony hdr s10 slow motion recording is cool. sony is a brand i just can't ignore but manual focus is something i think i should have. but about jvc i have read that it records videos in a different format which is difficult to edit or burn,pls comment on this. pls highlight the disadvantages of both. any help is deeply appreciated

. thanks
