Hi guys, I want to buy a HD camcorder, but I haven't made a decision between the sony HDR-CX100 or the Panasonic HDC SD9.
Which want would you recommend?
I already own a panasonic PV-GS400 (standard def). I just need the cam for family events, vacation,home use, etc. ,nothing professional, but I want to take advantage of the HD technology..
thanks in advance

How about: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

Taking advantage of its system camera design, the DMC-GH1 features the potential for unlimited photo expression by allowing the use of different lenses for specific shooting situations and subjects. High-quality sound recording with Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator and a host of other creative options, including manual settings, giving the DMC-GH1 even greater versatility.
Supporting the DMC-GH1's powerful full-HD movie recording function is a newly developed 12.1-megapixel high-speed Live MOS sensor and the Venus Engine HD image processor, which features two CPUs for outstanding processing capability. The new LUMIX G VARIO HD 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S., which is a versatile 10x zoom interchangeable lens, was designed for movie recording by including a silent and continuous auto focusing function and seamless aperture adjustment.

Thanks for the tip Leo. This camera hasn't been released yet, so there are no reviews.
I'm intrigued about this hybrid, usually camcorders suck big time in taking stills, I' don't know about the opposite.
Otherwise it looks amazing, but I'm sure it's gonna be pricey...

it's probably going to compete with the NIkon D90 and the Canon 500D in regards price.
