It is a shame that Sony's HDR models claim Full HD, yet they are only 1080i. I believe your model does support 720p as well which is nice as my HDR HC7 only supports either 1080i or (i think) 480p. But you would be hard pressed to notice a major difference with the 1080i when watchin on a 1080p TV. It does lose a ton of quality when there isn't enough lighting though.
