Hi all

After doing all my usual hours of research before committing to a purchase, I'm trying to decide between buying this camera or the Panasonic HS60, so I was wondering if anyone has bought the HM550 and can tell me if there are any problems with it, since I can find loads of reviews of the Panny and very few about the JVC.

The pros the JVC has over the Panny are that it does 24Mbs video VS 17Mbs on the HS60, and it seems to fair better in low light with its large sensor. The Panny is cheaper though and has a 120GB hard drive to boot, while the JVC has only 32GB.

Do you think 32GB is enough memory for recording a few hours of HD footage? I don't know how much space AVCHD uses per hour, the best estimate I found on the interwebs was 6GB/hour.

Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!;)
