I just replaced my first generation AVCHD camera with the new Canon HF11. 60i/30p/24p 24Mbps. Love it! I just use 8GB cards, and then burn off the footage to DVD+DL for storage/backup. The Editing programs are finally catching up with AVCHD editing.
I was also looking at a Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 and JVC Everio GZ-HD6 but I read alot of reviews that said that using DV Tapes were best because of quality and editing. Almost every review I read said that the HV30 I bought was best for low light conditions (like a hotel room). I just hope I bought a decent camera for the job. :P It can record in 20p and 30p...
