these camera shoot 1080/50p or 1080/60p in AVCHD (h264) @ 28Mbps which is nothing to complain about, and these 700 series camcorders are still rated as being brilliant camcorders, even tho they are now older and outdated.
i use 2x HDC-SDT750 cameras (this was the first 3D camcorder ever made) and even these still shoot in AVCHD 1080/50p @ 28Mbps, same quality as the 700 series cams.
nobody will ever make a hack for these types of camcorders, just be happy with what they are now, they are awesome cameras and shoot 28Mbps video.
