Which AVCHD Camcorder To Buy? Panasonic HDC-SD5 or Sony HDR-CX7

I have been thinking about getting an HD Camcorder for a while now. I am now looking at the solid state AVCHD Camcorders from Panasonic and Sony.

I still can’t decide to get Panasonic HDC-SD5 or Sony HDR-CX7. Each has its own strength and weaknesses. I wish that I could have a combination of both. Panasonic HDC-SD5 uses three (3) CCD sensors, while Sony HDR-CX7 uses one (1) CMOS sensor. Sony HDR-CX7 has the NightShot® Infrared System which I really like and Active Interface Shoe. Based on the specs, Panasonic HDC-SD5 has higher effective pixels, web-cam feature, uses SD-card which is generally cheaper than Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick PRO Duo™ Media.

Anyway, I still can’t make up my mind between the two.
