Looking for advice: I have a Sony HDR-HC1 which records on tape in the HDV format. I'm thinking of going to the Canon HF-S11 or possibly to the Panasonic HDC-TM300 (because of the viewfinder). I've read several times that as far as picture quality goes, flash based doesn't have the PQ of tape. Is that true?

I'd really like to switch to flash based because the processing power required for HDV is more than my computer can handle and AVCHD requires a little less power (although I plan on replacing my computer this month).
