Everything about the picture quality is great, the detail,color,light levels,etc. except there is too much visible noise in the picture especially when viewed on a large display.

Forgot to mention that I tried all levels of noise reduction on the HDTV and could still not hide the noise even though the footage was taken in a well lit situation.
The footage was viewed on a 70 inch top of the line Sony SXRD.

Have you tried reducing color on the camcorder itself?

AVCHD format is known to be quite noisy. Also, try using the manual exposure control: get "zebras" on and lower exposure until very little of zebra's remain.

Post if anything changes. Or it could just be the bad encoding engine on the camcorder.

Only with 25Mbps AVCHD codec settings you start go away from video artifacts (HD+ setting). This bitrate only gives you 10 minutes footage on a single-layer DVD recording media. It's time to go keep miniDV tapes for a while.

why sony and panasonic keeps restricting the data rate of avchd to 15mb/s?

I was told the same thing by someone else, and although I really wanted an HD 5.1 camera, I settled for a Conon XL1s. Hopefully it will serve me well until AVCHD actually goes somewhere.

I hate how sony has forced the users of this camera to their blue ray players.

Nice work on takin tips from Microsoft
