Difference between MC5 and MC10
Pros: AVCHD playback via HDMI
Cons: More expensive than MC5
Took more hours to find out the differences between MC5 and MC10. MC10 has video outputs (HDMI, Component, or Composite video outputs) and a remote control for playback, MC5 doesn't. Therefore, MC10 can be used as a stand-alone DVD player to playback AVCHD discs. If all you need is to archive from camcorder to DVD and you already have a AVCHD capable player (such as PS3 or a PC), then MC5 is enough for you. MC5 is $100 cheaper too.

Solves lots of problems
Pros: Solves a big outstanding problem
Cons: sort of expesive, but worth it
This appears to be a wonderful, if expensive, solution to making DVD's from the Sony HDR-TG1 HDTV camera on a Sony VGN-TZ180 laptop computer. It is almost impossible today, as these Sony products either doesn't work together, or it takes hours with today's technology.. The VRD-MC10 should make the process perfect, and help convert old VHS and other video tape formats to a DVD for archiving and sharing as well. I can't wait.
