Sony DCR-SR47 vs Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1

Just wanted a comparison between the two camcorders. They are both relatively the same size. The Sanyo is a high definition camera, which is why I wanted it. They are both recording in 640X480. The sanyo can record in 720p but the Sony is not high definition. I prefer the Sanyo as I can clearly tell there is better color saturation, and it can record in high def. It takes SDHC memory cards so the max you can record is 32GB (but that's still 8 hours in high def). The only aspect I didn't like is that the sony handles low-light situations better than the sanyo. Please tell me what you guys think.

I bought the Sony today, but just found this vid. Is the Sanyo HDD also? And is the Sony set on its highest quality recording or is that the standard setting?

The sanyo is not HDD. It uses SDHC cards (the max right now is 32GB). They are both recording straight out of the box, no adjustments except I made the sanyo settings the same as the sony. Sanyo is High Def up to 720p. Also less than half of the sony cost.

Just to help everyone understand the colour difference. The Sanyo seems to automatically put more contrast into it's image to make it appear more vibrant.

In a way that makes it look better, but if you prefer to do your own colour adjustments (grading, contrasts saturations etc.) The Sony's more flat image is FAR better for that.

Don't get me wrong you can still do that with the Sanyo, but you get better results starting with a 'flat' image.

it is difficult to compare two devices that have different settings. in the dusk, the Sony seems better restore the brightness.

the sanyo has better color quality but it looks like the sony one does its light adjusting abit faster.
