Total score ?
(maximal 570) | 412 | 354 |
| Pros | + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
| + Many manual controls
|
| Cons | - setting focus manually is a little complicated
| - focusing is hard
- no 1/25 sec. shutter speed in cinema mode
- small wide angle
|
| Conclusion | Not only does Panasonic offer 50p, it also brings enough wide angle (which even isn´t affected by the active image stabilisation), good low-light performance and colors, great sharpness and lots of manual control.(only 2D mode) | Compared with its predecessor Canon indeed could enhance ist low light capabilitiesThe high photo pixel resolution results in a good but not unique video resolution and focussing is harder with a Canon model compared with a Sony or Panasonic.In return the cam has got a lot of interesting controls and features ehich are only topped by Panasonic |
