I've read conflicting opinions on the quality of the image. Some say it's better, some say worse. I stopped researching that issue when it turned out my cam wasn't dead after all.
I also read about some AVCHD compatability issues, drivers or Vista issues.
There are both camcorders that record to a hard drive, and ones that record to solid state memory. The solid state units will take a SD card or such for more capacity. I thought the solid state a good idea. All camcorders I've ever owned failed by the tape drive or heads going. So while a hard drive would be better, solid state sounds best to me.

I've got an HV10, shoots in HDV onto MiniDV tapes, then I put that into the comp, currently using Studio (plan to also have Adobe suite by end of the month, and as I originally learned in Primere and After Effects and am fluent with Photoshop CS3 I expect I'll be able to hone things better) that does VCD DVD HDDVD AVCHD format burning. I don't have anything setup for Blu-Ray so I'm yet to do much of anything with AVCHD aside from keeping the driver info current and shooting in as high a quality as the camera allows me.
Not sure if I can really help but feel free to fire away any questions you've got.
No, I only played with my cousins prosumer mega $ HD cam. Like $5k + worth. I did edit it, but just for laughs to see what it would do. I have a late model HP 9xxx laptop with Vista Premium, it came with a HD video input and tuner card, and the VISTA version of Windows Movie Maker does HD.
Not the best but I already had it for free, enough to play with.
