I might even look into a Sony one since I've seen footage from a few and they are outstanding, and I'm talking about the consumer level ones.
I've been looking into cameras for about a year now... I can't make up my mind because I don't like settling. I have yet to see any non edited examples from any consumer cameras that will drop my jaw until I saw the redrock M2 adapter. Check out their forums and you will see what I mean.
You were probably thinking about the HG20 which comes with a built in hard drive. Very good camera. I may end up picking one up... some pretty impressive videos out there with it. My friend is actually going to pick one up and add the M2 adapter to it as well.
Here is a pretty cool video from an HG20 to show you what it can do with just editing:

the redrock M2 simply gives you DOF in your videos which will give it more of a cinematic look from what I have seen.... but thats what I am after.
