Hi
I've looked for 6 months before I bought. I got the HD7 and love it. Don't belive everything you read. Go to the pro sites and you will find it is really great. but it is not a point and shoot type cam. But if you learn the cam. It Kicks some $#&^!! The footage is not hard to work with. When it 1st came out yes ! It wasn't the cam it was no software supported it, that has been a problem with alot of new HD camera's. Even Sony's Vegas 8 supports it. LOL . There is a lot of software out their know. Check out vimeo and type in GZ-HD7 on the search.. Good luck hope this helped alittle. The prices are dropping on them that even makes it better. When it comes to build and manual controls hard to find something better. With out going to a pro model. The sony is good to I'm very happy with my choice.
