Actually this uses CMOS sensors as opposed to the hmc's CCD's. The CMOS's will likely give better color rendition and low-light capabilities but at the expense of light shutter rolling and the (slightly) higher price. Its a shame the AVCHD codec is used as opposed to the excellent XDCAM EX Sony uses in it's higher line.
Both this and the HMC-150 are solid cams (at least in terms of these specs) but they are really limited to event and documentary videography.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
