I guess I based this on what I was recently told by a Best Buy employee, I am looking at buying a Sony HDRTG1 and it does not have the feature were it can convert analog to digital, the sales guy said that it has been several years since that was a standard feature. I have Sony DC11 and have been happy with it but I want to purchase a HD camera and like the form factor of the HDRTG1. I also believe that the future of video cameras is in the flash memory type over tape, hard-drive or DVD.
