Thanks. I was thinking of getting this camera, but with all the problems arising from it makes me hesitant. Now that I know it will record standard DV at least I know I can use it for work and play.
best bet is to see what it can do ...
i took a peak at a large hd screen with the cam set up and it blew my mind... and i bought it that afternoon... it is tragic the launch was so flawed and staggered... but the camera on a large screen held up extrodinarily well image wise.... don't judge it by the flip out screen. you have to see it on a monitor or better yet big screen hd tv.
