alot of cam mags pasteing this new small cam all over the place, worshipping it!!! But is it really that good?? anybody tried out these new 3 cms chips? It's seems excellenta s a small camera for on the go, easy to take and handle: with true 16:9 and good lens but then you have the panasonic NV-GS250 with leica glass which might be a better buy.

any thoughts? anybody got experience with these cameras or others in like price and size range?

I debated between the Sony 1000 & a Panasonic NVGS400EB & went for the Panasonic. I am well pleased with the first holiday footage off it in widescreen except that I seem to have problems with getting the verticals vertical. The build quality is not as good as my Sony TVR 900 though.
