Ot: Your Recommendations on camera

Well, my wife said "YES"..bless her heart, to a hi def camcorder. I have the opportunity to select between one of three cameras. Sony HDR-HC7, Sony HDR-UX7 and Canon HV20. I am a hobbyist (most of the time shooting family get togethers, vacations, etc) , but also have the opportunity to record dog agility events to place on DVD and sale to handlers. I use Vegas Pro 8 for editing and DVDA for burning. When shooting the dog agility I use a tripod with lanc control and usually a shot gun mic. Current camera is the GL2.

Of the three cameras mentioned which would you recommend. I have seen and handled the two Sony cameras, but not the Canon.

If anyone recommends the HDR-UX7...how is the transfer and editing of the AVCHD format working out??

Thanks for your suggestions.

Galen

Markus,

What do you think about the slow motion recording ability of the Sony? Can you do that same 240 fps with the Canon? Is there any way to make the HC7 footage look like Canons 24p setting in post or through changing settings in the HC7 to help out in post?
