      I know it is gone (or may be available) but Dell had this for $100 less 2 days back.

      It is an awesome camcorder, the AVCHD format is a little tricky as far as editing (you need a pretty recent edit program and fairly fast computer), but the results are great.

      With no moving parts in the camera you never get noise.

      Has a mic input and headphone output.

      SDHC cards are dirt cheap right now and dumping them takes no time.

      Comes with a program to watch the AVCHD format.

      Threaded 37mm for cheap wide angle lens attachment, I got a used sony lens from b and H for 11 bucks.

      Small, light.

      Biggest con is that an extra battery costs like 60+ bucks, the OEM canon have some electronics built in for battery metering and such.

      Cheap non-oem's can be had on Ebay but they cannot be charged on the camera (which is where OEM ones are charged), so you have to be a little careful.

      We film a cable show with this camera and it has been full on outstanding.

      8GB SDHC card = 1 hr highest resolution HD, standard battery only lasts 1 hr

      doesn't the wide angle lens block the AF sensor? Can someone confirm?

      Just ordered this after I read that Sony Vegas works well for editing the files.
