Shoud I buy the Sony HX9V?

I've been pondering over this for some time now. I want really good photos which I know the HX9V can give but I don't know whether it'll be really good for HD Videos. I do know that it can record in Full HD 1080p at 50/50p but I don't know whether it is good for long videos. I did consider a camcorder but I don't like its photo quality. I have a Canon MV850i camcorder which is 4-5 yrs old & it shoots quite good videos but it records them on a mini DV but the photos are only ok in good light.
What I really want to know is whether to go for it or should I wait for some more time for something better? I've considered whatever Canon & Nikon have to offer but don't like them much.

You should go for sony

The HX10 has already been announced and should be available to buy shortly. It's killer feature is it's best in class video, which should be of interest to you!
