Okay, I've a few things I'm looking for. I didn't want to pollute the 1st post, so I'm putting my requirements here:
- 1080p - not 1080i
- 24p seems good, although not essential
- HDMI and USB (surely ubiquitous?)
- Good screen
- Works indoors/outdoors
- Low-light modes (low lux rating)
- Can record to AVCHD/h264
- Edit: 5.1 sound recording
I'm I'll update with more as I remember, but my brain's fried now. (TMG: Too much Google.
