I've read about focus problems with the Z7, so I'm ruling that out for now. The S270 records HD in HDV format, which is 25mbps, correct? The cameras we're buying must record at least 35mbps.

With much higher budgets, the PDW700 offers a lot. Same idea of choice of recording media - but here XDCAM disc or SxS (with adaptor) - and with higher quality, full broadcast approved 50Mbs codec.

I'll have to make sure the lack of 24p on the PDW700 is not a problem for us. It looks like a great camera other than that.
