Which Sony HDR best for videoscoping? (1 Viewer)

Hello all. I've seen a number of Sony HDRs discussed in threads below- and apart from price I'm not sure what factors differentiate them when it comes to videoscoping. Are there any up-to-date views on which models seem best (or seem ones to avoid) for videoscoping, in my case used with a Leica Televid with a 20-60 zoom?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Just to answer my own question, in case anyone comes along with similar queries:

- hard to get rid of vignetting when using Sony HD SR12 with Leica 20-60 eyepiece and Leica 77 body

- but Sony HD SR12 seems to work well with an Eagleeye 10X eyepiece attached to a Leica 77 body

- the main plus so far (compared my previous efforts with a Sony DCR which got nicked a couple ofyears ago) is the resolution of the stills- 3680 x 2070 if grab is taken whilst the video is filming, 2304 x1296 if the grab is taken off the video after it has been filmed.
