Suggestions for digital camera which has 1920x1080 video

I have a digital camera which takes 720p video, which looks pretty good.
I'm interested in one which can take 1080p HD video, that's hopefully
under $700. Any recommendations or useful information would be much
appreciated.

You may want to ask in NG that actually deals with video cameras rather
then still photos.

ransley be happy with, a Canon Rebel does 1080p but only at 20 frames a
ransley minute. The 5 D does it for near 3000.00 tax included at a good frame
ransley rate.

My Canon 7D does 1080p at 30 or 24 frames per second (my choice) until the 4GB
boundary is hit (stupid MSDOS FAT filesystem), which means about 12 minutes
per take. And it's a bit cheaper than the 5D.

Thanks, that's definitely a contender.

Randal-

I understood the rationale for a 4GB limit, was that was how much would
fit on a DVD. I wonder if the DVD limit was based on the FAT Filesystem?

Seems there's quite a few in the Panasonic Lumix line that also do 1080p.
From their new interchangeable micro-4/3 format to the waterproof compacts.

No, the CD and DVD format is a separate one, CDFS and UDF respectively:
