Not for the moment. But I've been owing it for a week or so.

Yes, awesome.

What is the battery life like in real use
About 50 minutes. It states 80 when it is loaded, but you see it decrease quicker than 1 min every min. But 50 minutes are more than I need. I will probably buy another battery though, just in case.

What are you doing with your video files now, transferring to PC and... ?
... keep them on one of my 500G hard drive. My computer is quite old now, and I will need to update before being able to edit. I have to say that it is my first camcorder ever, so I cannot compare with other ones.

I'm still trying to hock a kidney to afford a Canon HF100 (how annoying is it that a camera costing US$1000 costs €1000.) One concern is this blasted AVCHD format. Apparently it is a dog to edit. Not many apps support it and those that do often seem to involve converting to lesser resolutions and CRAY super computers for 5 minute clips. Best solution so far, for Mac OS X, seems to be Final Cut Express 4.0 which has AVCHD support. God knows how long 60 minutes of my unborn son giggling is going to take to edit. Probably even longer than what it feels like for family and friends to watch ;) Anyone worked with AVCHD? Most of the time I'll be archiving to external HDs and putting up 5 minute clips to Vimeo for my folks back home to see. Occasionally I'll want to watch it on my Sony HDTV. And hey, if George Lucas can get Jar Jar Binks onto a gazillion cinema screens I have a pretty good chance. I must say, video formats are generally a PITA. Why did they make them so complicated? (It's tough having my problems. :rolleyes: )

Because you have a very small group of people all with different needs pulling formats in directions that the average consumer doesn't need either. for instance one of our groups makes sure that the Motion Picture standards also included capabilities of remote distribution of air-to-ground wireless imagery for unmanned air-craft. :) hey, keeps hollywood occupied with wondering what we are up to. :)

piece of cake... precision GPS monitoring of position, high precision tilt meter for orientation and telemetry downlink will run you more than your camera though. :)

I was thinking a length of string, some wood and a bin liner... :-D (Actually a co-worker and I are thinking of building a WiFi hot-spot blimp which self-positions via GPS. Just for a bit of fun...)
