Just went crazy and bought a nice HV40. Decided that just couldn't go against all the opinions here!
Thanks Muvipix..... can't wait to get it home!

Hi All,
trying to make sense of the current market to replace my old (nearly 8yrs) JVC DV Camera.
I have read heaps of posts here and elsewhere warning about the pitfalls of buying a Flash based AVCHD camcorder like the Canon HF10 or similar because of the resource impact on my PC.
Problem I have at the moment is that to go HD and DV tape it seems I'm looking at the HV40 (can't find any HV30s) and that is a fair bit more $$.
So.... one more time.... how much heartache am I in for if I go for one of the Flash based cameras? (please be honest!)
My current editing PC is nothing flashy:
Core2 Duo E6300 1.8G but running at 2.4G
4G ram
Various 7300rpm HDs
Vista 32bit (consequently can't see all my ram)
Nvidia 9600GT Video
Adobe PREL3 & PPRO CS4
Cheers
