When I was searching for an HD video camera to purchase, I kept coming back to the Sony AVCHD brand. I had good luck with using one of their still cameras before and had decided it was time for an upgrade. I spent several months researching the different types of cameras that I could use. The one difficulty that I had when doing this research though, was the need to know what video quality a Sony AVCHD video camera would offer. After scouring the internet I ended up with nothing. But I took a leap of faith and purchased a HDR-UX1 model from their AVCHD lineup. It ended up being a very good camera. =) In my desire to fix what has gone wrong before I have decided to create several (18 to be precise), test videos with my new camera. By doing this, you will hopefully be able to see the quality that an HD camera can offer. All of the video links and descriptions will be available at http://whoismatt.com. Also, I will upload two streaming 720p versions to vimeo which you can find at http://www.vimeo.com/hdquality. Having all of this information is what I would have wanted when I was buying an HD camera.
