Re: I want to buy a hi def camera..but need help

I have a JVC Everio HDD cam and while I haven't had a chance to record any shows with it yet, I'm very pleased with the ease of use and especially the clarity. I need to score a BD burner so I can output the footage in full 1080 resolution. So far though I have had no tech issues or anything with the camera and the software still allows me to create downsampled 720 DVDs for playback on regular players.
At Christmas I just put it on a tripod in the corner of the room and let it run for about 3 hours, then just plugged an HDMI cable into it straight into a 52" Samsung and watched the playback. Cant think a live concert would be much different.
Personally, I'm done with tapes. I'm old enough to have had 8 tracks, reel-reels, cassettes, etc and they will ALL fail eventually, just as anything electronic will as well.

Only my .02...
