    JVC makes an HDV camcorder in the same price ranges as well. If you prefer 720p, then that would be the one to get. The Sonys are 1080i.
    There are pros and cons to both formats, the lower frame rate of progressive can means it is more liable to judder on pans. I haven't looked up the reviews on the JVC though.

    I have a Sony HDV camcorder (HDR-HC1) and it is pretty nifty, I even make and sell a couple products for it.
