I recently bought this camera after using a variety of tape based cameras. Several of which were capable of 1080i. None of them match to the quality and user-friendliness of this. Despite the fact that I have not fully tested the audio capabilities of the camera, the video quality is great. I generally shoot for short documentaries, short films, and events ranging from lectures to music groups.

Great HD video, stabilization out of this world.
The HDR-AX2000 Handycam camcorder delivers HD broadcast-quality moving images with the convenience of a non-linear recording format. With 24p Progressive Scan Mode, this camcorder's high-quality film-like motion lets you realize brilliant scene reproduction. CinemaTone Gamma and CinemaTone Color provide the HDR-AX2000 with the color and gamma range to give your footage an even more film-like feel.
Three 1/3" Exmor CMOS image sensors with Exmor derived technology capture sharp, detailed images even in lower-light (1.5 LUX) situations. The 29.5mm wide-angle to 590mm telephoto Sony G Lens allows for wider angle shooting and brings the action closer (20X optical). Three built-in neutral density filters and three manual rings provide even more flexibility.
