The PX10 has a 1/2.3" chip. This has always confused me with consumer cams. Is that somewhere in between a 1/2" and 1/3" chip?

Nevermind. I just saw the link to sensor sizes here in this thread. Very informative!

OK, a question - the camera does not shoot in AVCHD 2.0, or whatever it's called. Right now, I can shoot with a Panny TM900 at 17mbps and burn all the video directly to a DVD and watch it on a Bluray player. Really nice for home videos, etc.
I was under the impression that you can't do that with this camera's AVCHD 1 codec. Can anyone confirm this? How does one get the video to a DVD from this cam?
I want to buy a small HD consumer cam, and my final choices right now are the TM900 and the PX10.

Here's what camcorderinfo thinks of it:

"With its clumsy design and terrible user interface, we can honestly say JVC failed in their attempt at making a true photo/video “hybrid” device. Solely for recording video, however, the JVC GC-PX10 is not a complete waste of time—but it is still seriously overpriced for what you get."

Except that it has one killer "app," that being the 2 plus hours of super-slow motion record time. For some people, that alone will worth it.
