I've got an 8 GB card, and an extra battery. 80 minutes of video (highest quality). Battery only lasts about 40 minutes, so plan on an extra.

One warning. AVCHD can be a BITCH to edit. I had to dump Premiere and get Ulead Video Studio 11+ to editi these. Work arounds and stuff, but I've got it down now. Just know that your normal editing workflow will most likely not work.
From what I understand I can edit it in imovie on the mac. Not sure if I will ever edit anything but who knows. This will be a new toy for me. Thanks for the tips on getting an extra battery.
