Negative Positive
Title: Very pleased
Review: I've owned mine for two weeks and I'm very pleased. Picture quality is superb, as you'd expect. Handling is also good -- the camera is comfortable to hold and relatively easy to operate. I love having my videos on a chip -- it's a pleasure to avoid the real-time capture process that tape camcorders require.On the downside, as others have indicated, the bundled software is awful and commercial editing software is just now beginning to support AVCHD.I know others are considering waiting for the HDC-SD3, which has already been released in Japan. I considered waiting but decided against it -- from what I can tell, that camcorder has the same imager and video data rate as the SD1, so I'm guessing the increase in recorded resolution (to 1,920 x 1,080, from 1,440 x 1,080) will not make much of a difference in image quality.
