@goulartfelicio

Both record in AVCHD (H.264). I like the HS700 because it's an overall better performing camcorder. Both camcorders are good choices though, so you can't go wrong with either one. They both can be set to record in a 'cinema mode', but the HS300 can record 24FPS natively, unlike the HS700 which is pseudo-24fps and must be transcoded in post.

and from what i heard , read review on the internet....Camcorder which record to hard drive can cause problem such as stop recording when shaking badly ( like when you mounting on the motocycle?....ok, i am getting to the point... i plan to travel back to my native country (vietnam) for 1 and a haft month and i plan to record as much i posible......I need a camcorder with large of storage so i can....record more ( that why i cant take TM700 which i like more)

@Superanthony2006 you'll want to consider the TM700 just to be safe then. If you take a look at my other videos, you'll notice the HS300 rattling from the vibration on the dash. If the HS300 can maintain it's recording function while jittering against the dash and windshield, the HDD should be fine. Anything more extreme than that, you'll be risking possible recording errors.

And by the way , i have a important question ( to me) to ask and hopefully you can help.....the reason i still haven't got the Panasonic HS700 is because i am a little worry about camcorder which record to hard drive instead to flat bed memory (tm700)...

@Superanthony2006

HDD recording is fine as long as the camera isn't put into extreme

cases where shaking/rattling proves to be too much (i.e. attached to a mount on an off-road vehicle.)

HS300 is no good for details. Seams like the actual footage have a lower resolution.

hummm tks :)

in my opinion this is the best test between 2 camcorders ever made

[Superanthony2006]

The reason i afraid of HS700 HDD can cause record errors when recording in extreme condition like mounting on motocycle is because you know that ain't many people in vietnam own a car...only a few rich people can ... a  2011 toyota siena 2.7liter engine cost $ 92,000 dolla , that 's right....ninety two thounsand US dolla!....and most people in vietnam ride bikes...so , i know i am gonna ride one to when i there.

@stratuszen Thank you ....thank you for your good comment.... now i lean more to tm700.. but i have to think more what else should i buy to go with it ....A laptop with 500 gb hard drive or buy more flat bed memmory?....
