I checked with a friend who purchased the camcorder late 2008. He said the camcorder is good, but not worth $1500. Anyone knows the reason behind the raise, recession?

This is a wonderful camera. You can shoot and shoot and shoot with no tapes. Review your clips with a visual thumbnail index. Lots of options to customize settings via menus. Touch screen interface works well. <br /> <br />Picture quality is fabulous. As stated in other reviews, 3rd party software is still catching up with this format. The newest Adobe suite, CS4, can now ingest these files. However, it is very slow to process this format. You can use other 3rd party software to convert the files from AVCHD to avi or mpeg2 and get better results, but it is a bit of a drag. This should resolve itself over time. <br /> <br />Overall, though, well worth the trouble converting for the freedom of tapeless operations and HD clarity.
