yeah, but it still eats resources... better to transcode it to another format...

I am using an AVCHD cam as a second cam on the project I am shooting now...shooting AVCHD and then converting it to a P2 format...runs much better that way...

Just get a 3CCD somthing. In less your going to spend like 4 to 6 racks. The lens our so cheap on the small ones who cares if it's HD. Look at GL1, GL2, XL1, XL2 on ebay.

A good quality lense is what makes the camera not all the added ****

From what little I know of this format, this will be the direction things are heading but its just not there now so if I were you (I wish I did) I would get something that didnt use this compression method.

Some info on AVCHD:
