I'm not sure what you mean by that, Ken. DV, whether recorded to small
(Mini) tapes or to large (Standard) tapes is 25 Mbps, 720p HDV is 19.7
Mbps, and 1080i HDV is 25 Mbps.
All four of these AVCHD camcorders are 1080i, so the comparison, if
it's to be made, should be made to 1080i HDV. The highest currently
used AVCHD data rate of 15 Mbps isn't close to 25 Mbps, in my opinion.

The four camcorders mentioned above comprise the *entire universe* of
available/announced AVCHD products. Period. There are no others.
Someday it might become a decent format, but not yet.
