wasn't intended to be a put-down - simply questioning the op's thought that:

>>> supporting AVCHD now!

why? there's a plethora of relatively cheap software out there that will
handle avchd,
if someone is going to invest in any of those programs (i use vegas
which DOES support avchd), then why would they spend $500+ on a program
and then use a crappy camera. and yes, i did say crappy camera because
at the moment, it looks like all the avchd cameras are built like
fisher-price toys, with awful lens', and and little thought as to sound,
etc.,
