I am in the market for a blu-ray camcorder and have done enough research to confuse myself. I have a 58 inch Panasonic 1080P Plazma TV, receiver that sends HDMI 3 to the TV from several sources including a Sony Playstation 3 on which I can play blu-ray movies. The broadcast I receive over DirecTV are 1080i; the sony playstation sends 1080p to the TV. Blu-ray 1080p is much superior to 1080i.

My question is: Are there any camcorders on the market that record in 1080p? My research shows that the JVC GZ-HD7 and Hitachi's blu-ray disc camcorder have a lot of talk of blu-ray on their website but refer to blu-ray "full HD" without saying if recording is in 1080i or 1080p. Apparently playback can be 1080p but the question I have is what is the recording format; 1080i or 1080p.

Does anyone know if there are any camcorders on the market that record in 1080p?

Thanks,
Ed
