They work great in the air and the image stabilizer works like a charm. I just fooled with them a little bit on the ground but found them almost foolproof (though I am aware that nature can always design a bigger fool).
The one caution I have is that if you want to do fancy editing the 1080i format will demand pretty pricey software in Winders. I understand that the cheap-ass Mac video editor can do it pretty well but I haven't used it.
Put on an HD flat screen and the difference between 1080i and everything else is pretty evident.
I bought them from B&H and have had good support from them. Also from Sony.

B&H is the best store period, bought all my cameras and camcorders from there, no one can beat the prices there but in case you are shopping there personally, I suggest that you know what you wish to buy. The store is packed to the hilt most of the times and most shopping there are pros and know what they want, the sales guys won't have patience for the indecisive ones.
