AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) is
a new high-definition recording format introduced by Sony and
Panasonic. It can use various storage media, including 8 cm (3")
recordable DVD discs, a hard disk, or flash memory cards. The format is
to compete with other handheld video camera recording formats,
particularly HDV and MiniDV. [from WikiPedia]The major complain when it come to reviewing Sony SR7/SR8, panasonic SD5 or any previous model is the lack of editing tools for AVCHD (beside low light performances, but that is common on consumer camcorder). That's why I propose You some links now:

I can't review camcorder, a lot of site are doing it in a professional
way. Like always I propose You some links that You can use to gain a
loooooot of time.
Video Playback
Attention:you must deinterlace video to have the best experience! I use Elecard Converter Studio to view them (free for viewing, use De interlacing:option best for speed),
You have to deinterlace because computer monitor are not interlaced!
1080i30(60 fields) or 720p60 or 1080p30 have the same raw data rate, while 1080p60 has twice more data!
I've tried
- Videolan: crash with AVCHD version 0.8.6c)
- Power dvd ultra mixed quality output result, some freeze.
- Sony Vegas 8.0 Platinum edition with no success, image not great at all or with artifacts
- CoreAVC is the best software decoder out there, install it and any windows application must be able to play AVCHD or H264 (for $8)

If you're shopping for a new CamCorder with HD (720p, 1080i) support, you should take a look at what Sony offer:
"The HDR-SR1 is one of the best examples of why this is an exciting time for camcorders. Within this single model, we see the major advance of an emerging media hard disk drive and the birth of a new video standard AVCHD." Camcorderinfo.com has already 2 reviews: review1 and review2
All in all, the market is now offering more than 5 Camcorder: Panasonic NV-GS500, Sony (4 models) and JVC (2 Everio)

I've ordered 3 hours ago a Sony HDR-SR8 AVCHD 6MP 100GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom. Since I ve already provided some links before, and here about viewing AVCHD and editing.
I can not wait any longer for camcorderinfo.com review, as I will be in hollidays in 18 days for my 7 weeks Australian trip.
Why Did I choose the SR8?
- Size factor and hard disk, 100GB is luxus, I agree 60GB (SR7) would have done the job...
- I have a PS3 so HD playback on a 4 meters screens is not an issue
- PC playback is also not an issue, even on moderated single core cpu, if you use the right codec (coreAVCHD or Elecard converter)
- Sony Vegas 8.0 is the best editor, I was able to cut and move part of video without efforts/reading a tutorial.
- The Sony docking station is great for keeping cable in place. (canon HG 10 has none)
- QUALITY of fabrication, handling compared to Canon HG10
- Not reviewed yet by CamcorderInfo (even if camcorder is since 4 months available) but I suspect that It will blow th HG10, Ive seen a too many Canon Ads recently on CCinfo...hum
Some words about
Batteries: NP-FH70 (134CHF) is in the same size as NP-FH60 (99CHF), but has a 1800mA capacity versus 1000mA
of NP-FH60. They both are 33mm 'long'. But the NP-FH100 (190CHF) is 55mm long, with about 3980mA battery power.

Bandwidth: The Sony SR8 record at max 15 Mbps, AVCHD being able to go as far as 24Mbps, (no camcorder on the market is able to sustain that bandwidth). More bandwidth, means less compression. Less compression means fewer artifacts, less fast motion jumpiness and higher resolutions of video with less 'graininess'..
