I think its a great camera

I think its a great camera and has a lot of great feature, but to me its not worth it. For an 8gig P2 card it is around $2,000 and that will only get you about 20 minutes of video. I know you can record to tape too, but if were doing that I would go with an HDV camera. I have a HDR-FX1 that works great with fantastic quality and is about $2500 cheaper and about $13 for an hour of HDV footage. Thats just my opinion though.
