Answer 1

That is easy.

HV20.

Records in DV and HDV on miniDV tape.

Canon Lenses.

Mic-in jack.

Manual audio control.

I appreciate that the JVC doe NOT use AVCHD - that is awesome - but the extra step of burning DVDs for archives when the miniDV (digital video) tape is already there as an archive is just too handy. I also like that I can export the finished project back out to the camcorder so if I want to I can watch the project on my HDTV using the camcorder as a deck - I have been shooting with a Sony HDR-HC1 and editing hidef video for around two years...
