Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
-Sharpness
-Good low light behavior
- External buttons for focus, shutter, aperture + custom key
Cons - setting focus manually is a little complicated
- small wide-angle
- strong, non-adjustable colors
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)The GZ-HM1 is leading in the race for sharpness in its 1000 Euro range of 2010 camcorders.Also in low light conditions the camera makes a good impression.In spite of its price tag it is not possible to adjust the colors, which is unfortunate because they remain a matter of taste and are sometimes even on the verge of being critical.The external controls will be interesting for people who like to manually adjust things and be in control.In addition to the inertia of the parameters, the user must decide if a fast white balance or the focus aids should be assigned to the custom key.Because for the other it means diving into the menue via laser touch.Also, the small wide angle is not very inspiring.
