Which One of these Four Cameras Would You Buy?

IIRC, the VG10 actually shoots in 1080/30P and wraps the video in 1080/60i - or something like that.
I'm sure someone on this forum can give a detailed, technical explanation. Or I could be completely wrong.

Thanks for the comments and advice everyone! I just picked up a Canon XA10 today. I couldn't resist, considering what a deal I got on it. The same local camera shop where I was able to check out an XA10 in person had some on sale for $1799 - and their usual price was $2199! Needless to say, when I learned about the sale, I wasted no time in getting to the store.

Once I got it home, I had a chance to check out the camera's features in more depth than I was able to do when I was in the store for the first time. A closer look and a review of the manual leaves me with the impression that it offers a lot of features and capability for the money. Looking forward to shooting some video with it soon!
