Does Anyone have a Full HD camcorder here / Experience? (No clue where to post)

[fabi519]

Heya,
I really would like to get a 1080p camcorder. I have thrown my eye on the Sony HDR-SR12 (would kind of match considering that I already have the XBR4 52" lol).

However, I have no clues about camcorders and it would be my first one. The reviews about the cam are pretty good (it even records in 5.1 sound).

Can someone share this experience? Or about 1080p cams? Does the pq is really (or almost) as sharp as a BR?

What's a good price for it? The lowest so far has been around $850 with stores which have high ratings and can be trusted. There are several stores whoch oer it around $500 but who are pretty obvious scams and just want to steel your money.

Sorry didn't know where else to post this topic.
