PLEASE READ,
I NO LONGER OWN THIS VID-CAM
I bought it and used it for ONE weekend and then sent it back,
I now have the SONY DCR SR290E which I will get a comparison done soon, so PLEASE do not message me asking about the features of this as I wouldn’t know, thank you
A couple of side by side videos showing the comparison between a MiniDV and a Digital Camdorder
The first clip is from the MiniDV Sony DCR-HC27E and the second is from the Canon FS100, which stores the image on an SD Card
Let me kow what you think…..

Canon has better picture, the Sony one is more grainy and less defined. You should have stuck with Canon

here is what you do – open this video up in two windows. one you play from the start and in the other window cue the clip from where the cannon starts up… and then -you can see the difference.
actually i did have the sony hc27 for two years, it was brilliant. very sturdy and reliable….but i just got my cannon and it kicks serious arse!! i was always a fan of miniDVs but now SD cards rule ..cheers

Don’t you think …
Don’t you think that this comparison is a little unfair jiffyman? I mean, you are comparing a Sony MiniDV camcorder and a Canon flash memory camcorder. Both of the camcorders should of been MiniDV or flash memory.
I will say that the Canon camcorder has better image and sound quality than the Sony camcorder. I like both Sony and Canon camcorders.

Canon’s was clearly and distinctively better; I just upgraded from a Panasonic SDR-S7 to the FS100 and waiting for battery to charge. I was most attracted by the zoom capability and of course flash media! Thanks for the preview

Thanks, the Canon …
Thanks, the Canon was much sharper.

1) excuse me for …
1) excuse me for bad english
2) Mini DV use a lower compression than mpg4 or mpg2 used for recording in sd cards. Mini DV is a better support than sd cards for making videos (Mini DV supports faster writing speed than sd cards)
the lower quality of the minidv camera is caused of course from a low quality MiniDV ripping on PC

I just purchased the FS100. I am very glad I did. I could tell a big difference in the video, the first thing I noticed w/ the Canon was that you could see the cows! Sound, not much difference. Now I will be waiting for my Canon to get here!!

The Canon was better in all respects.

I am a Sony fan but beteen these two, the Canon is definitely better, the image looks clearly more detailed, more crisp and the light looks better too.

June 24th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Canon is better for …
Canon is better for picture quality; you can actually see the cows individually and see them move. With Sony you couldn’t see any movement. Sound seemed to be the same.
