High Definition Camcorders

1.          Canon FS11 Canon FS100 (price $500)

• Excellent in image stabilizer
• Very good picture quality

Basically no negative rating. Price is a bit high, but you pay for very good performing camcorder.

2.             Samsung SMX –F34 ( price $300)

• Very good in image stabilizer and audio quality
• Good grade in picture quality, low light picture quality, ease of use
• No negative rating
• Very good price

3.        Panasonic SDR –S7 (price $250)

• Very good image stabilizer
• Good picture quality, ease of use and audio quality
• Fair low light performance
• Very good price

4.             Sony DCR- SX 41 (price  $300)

• Very good rating in picture quality
• Good low light performance, ease of use and audio quality
• Fair rating for ease of use
• No negative grade given

Fair price. Comparing with # 3 Panasonic, Panasonic is easier to use, but has fair grade for low light performance , but is a little cheaper. What is more important for you?

I would go with #2 Samsung, because the price is very good. But again, if the best performance grade is teasing you, and in long run, it always plays a role with my choice, I will buy #1 Canon.

On the last place is

JVC GZ- MS100 with poor rating for low light performance, but excellent rating for image stabilizer. Price is $330, which is more than   #2 placed Samsung SMX F34. So, no buy for me.
