Sony NX5E

From the manufacturer's website:

" Sony's first professional AVCHD camcorder redefines the performance and features expected of this product class. It records stunning quality 1920 x 1080 images at 24Mbps (50i or 25p), as well as supporting 720/50p and Standard Definition recording. Sony's G Lens and Exmor technology provide excellent resolution, colour and contrast, as well as exceptional low-light sensitivity. "
