Claus, I know the HD7 is discontinued in certain chains of shops here in the UK but I don't know if a replacement of a similar quality is on the cards. I think there's another model (The HD3? was it?) that came out recently but doesn't seem to feature some of the HD7s fine attributes. There's a thread or two on it somewhere on the forum here.
I would still go for the HD7 personally, since you can pick them up at bargain prices now. The low light on the HD7 is quite good, I only mention it because we had problems last year with low light on a Sony A1, damn near ruined the shoot.

Dear Wayne & Claus,
I am glad you both like my posted videos, HD7 is still there since JVC have not declared its successor, its still premium model. JVC has launched some new models HD5 & HD6 but they are not as good as HD7, they lack some interesting features, I guess right now HD7 is the best model available in the HD camera market. If you guys see the features of HD7 you will agree that HD7 really rules, just think of focusing ring, all manual controls are placed outside well, Fujinon lens and etc.
It is unfortunate that people here talk negative about HD7 from the very first day when it was launched last year! Some people give wrong statement about HD7 without using it, its actually not faire and justice to the any product!
I have with me HV20 also but I am more using HD7, I am more comfortable with HD7, indeed it is fantastic camera, I now understand what HD7 means!
