"We" tend to ignore models which use DVD media (due to issues of reliability). This one can record to flash memory or DVD, so that helps. It has the same sensor/lens and digital processing as the Sony SR10;I would expect it to perform similar to the Sony SR10.

Mark ,
does it just record AVCHD files to a DVD disc as data ( like HDD or Flash memory)
or does it create AVCHD discs?
Not that i would buy or recommend it though

It makes an AVCHD disc (if you finalize it). So that is an advantage; it is a memory card based camcorder and dedicated AVCHD disc burner all in one.

I suppose it is a kind of SR 10 hybrid then
Still my money is on the 11 or 12 if I was going to go AVCHD
Solid state memory does inspire more confidence than HDDs though
As for the optical disc function. I really wonder

What with clips being recorded "separately"
However in general terms I don't like the basic inability to edit as such so the advantage of instant AVCHD disc is lost on me but I can see its attraction
