    We have had the same camcorder for 5 years now, and decided it was time to upgrade. Despite there being an argument for avoiding high definition - problems with editing and storage - we decided to go down this route and so far so good. The Sony HDR-XR520VE produces awesome pictures in HD mode, and if you've got a Playstation 3 then connection and playback are incredibly easy - use the PS£ control to drive the camcorder.
    Problems? Nothing major - as with all camcorders you get some bad wind noise with the inbuilt mic, but other than that it's ideal. The 'idiot' mode suits me best - no configuration required. Come to think of it, why can't you get a camcorder with the highest spec lens, image stabilisation, auto focus etc, without the hugely complicated manual settings that many of us don't use? The absolute best image possible from a point and shoot is what I want......
