hi, I am thinking about getting an HD camera and was going to buy either the Panasonic HDC-SD20 or Samsung HMX-H100 first, but I read that these both have horrible low light performance. People recommended the Canon HF200 instead, since it supposedly has good low light performance, but now you're saying it doesn't?
Is it really that bad? How about indoors / artificial light?
Low light performance isn't good, when the light is poor it automaticly switches to lower framerate (hower you can switch to framerate priority to set the constant framerate) which is noticeable and also the noises are huge .... anyway all the bad things are in shade of the real perormance during the daylight (colours and contrast) i like it and don't regret, really nice camcorder
