I have just checked out Sanyo's website and saw that they have a new Xacti model!! It's called the HD1010... www.sanyo-dsc.com/english/products/vpc_hd1010/index.htmlhere is the URL to the page... if there's anyone out there who has tried or bought this camera...please write a review...i'm very anxious to know some stuff... like... i there manual focus during recording? is there manual aperture during recording? is there a 'fast zoom' and 'slow zoom' (unlike the xacti cg6 where it's just a button and theres no speed to set) what compatible external microphone can we use (other than the new xacti microphone...)? etc... etc... etc... thanks in advance... =) oh and btw i have a xacti cg6...i'm quite happy with the videos but sound quality is BAD!! so i thought of trading it in...or just getting another one so that my friends and i can film from different angles (we film short movies for fun!!)... cheers!! usernamesareboring!! =P

I've only had the 1010 a week but find it a great improvement on the 1000 (which was already good). Main advantages: - audio out for monitoring recording and playback (at last) - better auto focus - no streaking from overhead lights - higher quality HD, really outstanding pictures - full widescreen viewfinder - less fiddly controls - shoe for light.
To answer your specifics: - a can't see a way to alter focus or aperture once you are shooting - zoom appears to have two speeds, fast and a bit slower. I can't see a way to set them - external mics of most powered kinds seem to work pretty well. I use small Sony and a large Beyer MCE 86
The only downside I've found so far is that it's a bit chunkier than the 1000 and the mini-jacks are really inconveniently positioned at the top of the pistol grip.
