Total score ?
(maximal 570)		293289
Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
- Automatic lens shutter
Cons - somewhat blurred compared with other HD video
- wide angle
- little manual control
Conclusion Handlingwise no other mini-cam is up to par with the Panasonic SD10.Others functions like the distortionless lens or the optical image stabilizer are realised well.Apart from its somwhat low image sharpness we think this camera is well done for its price.With little wide angle, small sensors, lean low-light performance and few manual functions, it is hard to see any reason to choose one of the smaller Canon models, given a budget of 500 Euro.The 2010 competition simply has more to offer.
