Total score ? (maximal 570) | 412 | 318 |
| Pros | + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit + Many manual controls + 1080p50
| + Excellent resolution in brightness and color + Very small + Many manual functions + 25 FPS-mode
|
| Cons | - setting focus manually is a little complicated - display and viewfinder have low resolution
| - Optics only average, small wide-angle - No microphone jack - unergonomic design
|
| 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. | The Canon HV10 has an CMOS with excellent resolution, which almost uses the HDV possibilities of brightness and color resolution to the full.The lens shows very little distorsion, but offers only a small wide angle, and throughout the focal range slight chromatic aberrations can be seen.Under lowlight conditions the HV10 performs - as expected with a camcorder in this price range - average, a better configuration rating is hinderd by lacking audio-I/O options |
