I thought I'd wait for the Sony UX1 and SR1 to come out before deciding.

This morning, I visited the Sony Buliding in Ginza (Tokyo) to see if these two new models were on display, and sure enough they were. I compared them side by side with the HC3 and found that although the UX1 and SR1 have bigger LCD panels, and a focus ring, they both are HUGE camcorders, stretching the boundaries of 'portable'. The HC3 is much lighter (seems like half the weight). I can't see the advanced features of the UX1 and SR1 being worth carrying an anchor around.

AVCHD? Who cares if I have to lug either of these around.

Now I have to decide between the HV10 and the HC3, which I've failed to do so far.
