I think that prospective buyers should read this assessment of the
main contenders:

I purchased the Sony HDR-HC7 and I have no complaints as to its
picture quality or handling. It would be most difficult for a reviewer
to choose between the Canon HV20 and the Sony HDR-HC7, they are both
very good camcorders. In particular, the construction and handling of
the Sony is very good, and its picture quality would be equal to that
of the Canon IMHO!
