My XL1 is getting old, and im looking for something new [but dont have enough, nor do i film enough to warrant buying an XL-H1] I was at Best Buy today and saw the JVC GZ-HD7 on sale for $649 (!!!) its normally around 1500-1600, as far as i've seen -- i read some reviews and it falls short on some things, but overall it looks like a good deal from the sale price alone. It'll make a nice addition, and may even replace my XL1, since I no longer do video as much as I used to.

can anyone gimme a quick rundown on their likes/dislikes? i've been poking around the forums for a bit, but it would help me if i could get it all here because i have a limited time to act on this deal [end of the week, unless they sell out]

Thanks!

All I can say is for 649, if you don't buy it your dumb. I'll have to check out my local Best Buy because at that price I'm going to get a second.
