In short: mpeg4 is a no-brainer, nothing to complain about, but also not the optimum if you go for the optimum you ve got to deal with AVCHD When you look at video stills from each, they are identical, AVCHD only renders motion better and more efficiently, also you have the 60p option If you like smooth motion, high bit rates (compression) and are willing to spend time converting AVCHD in order to edit etc.

What is the difference between recording video using AVCHD versus MPEG4? Is it a case that one format is better than the other? In which case, which format is superior? Or does each format have its own pros and cons?
