I've used the Panasonic as a rental camera before, and it's quite nice. It has a lot of manual control for audio video settings, a nice lens and good on-board mic performance. On Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:09 pm, Heath wrote: I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the below models

I've worked with both. If you put aside the format question, the Panasonic is light years beyond the Sony in every other respect. It's an incredible camera.The Sony model is basically a hacked consumer HDV that adds a semi-pro mic interface. The image quality is inferior to that of the Canon

I should clarify - the HV20 is NOT a good choice for paid work unless you are really experienced with it and know how to tweak it, have a client who understands that that thing that looks like it came out of a cereal box can produce excellent images, and ideally - if you'll be projecting - you can

If it's between these two cameras Heath I would go with the Panasonic. I've worked with it a lot and it's a killer camera. My personal favorite is the Canon XL-2 but is a much larger camera with a much smaller viewfinder. If HD is a must for you I would go with the Canon XH-A1. It's a 3ccd camera
