HG21 is the only cam on the market with 24Mbps AVCHD and the colors are much better too. there's a comparison on vimeo.com i'd definitely go with canon.

Why would you want this on a Nex-7, a camera with a great built-in viewfinder?!

I think it is the best camera out there but a lot of money to spend if your just getting into photography I would start with the 7D its close to having a lot of the same features and costs a lot less at around 1300.00 I have both and shoot wildlife photography and find most of my shots come from the 7D with the 100-400 lens which I carry on my lap while road hunting for photos of wildlife ...I suggest the 7D first

Thanks, Zachary. I am leaning very heavily toward this camera. My only other options are the Kodak Easyshare Max and the Pentax K-R, though I'm not sure I'm ready for a true DSLR. Best of luck with your purchase - and I hope you share some photos and opinions!

I am strongly looking at the Nex c3 myself. It has a new sensor, less heat (better low light) more shots out of the same battery. Lots more good stuff here... http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/News/DxOMark-news/DxOMark-Sony-NEX-C3-Review-a-great-sensor-in-tiny-a-camera I do think they will upgrade the Nex 5 also though. I have also heard talk of a Nex 7, don't know what your budget is but it really looks like a beast, 24mp and an oled screen. It is way out of my current budget though.

Assuming price isn't a primary constraint.. Canon 7D more pro, more durable and will last you even and when you go pro. That said the Rebel is a lotta Camera for the cash.

We have been looking for a new camera, I think thi is the one, here is a review...http://www.dpreview.com/news/0707/07072605fujifilms8000fd.asp

yes it is better and there is the Magic Lantern firmware ( non official ) that lets you shoot RAW video at much higher bit-rate and resolution ( it can rival cameras like the 60D 7D and even some high end professional video cameras.

I tried to use that camera but the lack of a zoom among other things led to my returning it. I ended up buying a Sony camcorder for $130 which works works much better with a zoom The Sony camcorder is extremely light and easy to carry around.

This is just my thoughts. If you have to buy Nikon, then get J1. If you want to get the best among all compact system cameras, then I would go with Sony Nex 5N or Pana G3 for the price range. If you can spend more than $1000, Sony Nex 7 or Fuji X100 is nice. If you want to save money but get better Image Quality than J1, I recommend Olympus E-PM1. I prefer Canon S100 over Nikon P7100

Medium answer: It is not "too" professional, but a smaller camcorder will get the job done for you. I have both the Sanyo Xacti GH-2 ($170) and the Canon HFD100 (considerably more $). I use one for the family and the other for serious projects. They are both HD. The both record to the same medium (SD.) They can both can be point and shoot (see above post.) One of them is a little pricey...Good luck!

They're both great little cameras, and each has its strengths. I'd have a hard time choosing between them. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408enthusiastgroup/page11.asp

Just keep in mind that the Canon XSi does not have video at all. And the LCD screen does not support live view. Other than that I think the XSi is a good DSLR Camera to start with a DSLR experience. But it is not as great as T2i.

J. Perez -- There is a lot of fanboyism going on at the beginning of this thread... and it's passed off as fact to be worse. If you're looking at these two cameras consider your needs. You already have nice canon glass so you may be better served going with the 5d II. What do you shoot? If it's sports I would definitely say lean to the D700 or look at the 7d (or 1d III as you mentioned). I personally think the 5D II has the best IQ of the bunch, but that is an opinion. Really, the two cameras mentioned here are a different beast. It's like comparing mac laptops to windows desktops. First decide if you use your camera more for sports or portraits then decide if you want the canon or nikon.

Hi C.If mychildren were active types, I would probably lean toward the Canon 7 D, with its higher fps. But if my kids were more of the school-play type, I would get the 6D with its better low light performance. Hope my reply is of help. :-)

Marcus - This is an early DSLR from Canon, without a video function. It's just a camera. : ) I sold mine to a friend 6 years ago, and now have a Canon 30D and a Canon 7D (excellent HD video).
