Replying to New Camcorder for my Ski Vids

I'm looking for a camcorder that kinda on the verge of a professional camera and a consumer camera... not to pricy though, maybe around $1k...
i'm thinking about the Canon Vixia HF11, or the JVC GZ-HD7
the jvc looks pretty sick but some ppl have said the image stabilizer has probs.
the canon is also cool, more$$$ though but not as many problems
honestly i'm just really looking for good quality video
what do u guys think
u can also recommend other stuff as-well
