well, i have been without one for over a year waiting for one that has everything i want. Small (very small) size, great still shots, no damn tape drive noise, no crappy tape drive to break from dust, Good low light performance and HD video. Well here it is, I should have it next week. I think this is the ultimate hunting camera. best of all I got it for 725$ shipped. I can't wait to try it out on a fat old doe for the freezer. Last years video was so dark from that POS Canon that it was almost useless in heavy tree cover. This one seems to be really good in low light filming according to what I have read so far. We shall see! The biggest drawback is the editing ability is limited yet for this codec so far. The cool thing though is it can be set to record on low res just for internet video posting. Another cool thing is if you have an external hard drive you can plug the camera in to it with USB and dump the video onto the hard drive without having to even have a PC hooked up to it.
