The picture quality of the Sony is "awful" ? What do you mean by "better to make video screenshot?"

Also, what about low light capabilities of each camera? And especially, focusing in low light?

For me the Sony just plain sucks because of the short battery life.

Can you guys create a split screen video from both products? It would be nice to see the difference in quality side by side.

I agree with gb - can you bind the two of them together somehow and record the same view, then splice the two vids? That would be the best way to compare them.

Hi guys, i had two of those and i chose to stay with Sony - its much better and i really don't care about additional lenses or mics. because its pocket camera - for those who need extra buy regular Sony SD11/12 and will be full satisfy. Image its much better even with photo shot. Both cameras had same problem with format as its not wide popular like standard MP4 or Dvix - AVCHD still require additional video editing or Blu-Ray DVD player that support that format because not every Blu-Ray player can decode that format. And did anybody try to hold Sanyo - gun style cam? Its so uncomfortable and easy to drop. So i guess this review is only base on personal love buy person who made that review. Same like who love iProducts the rest is "garbage"

I have the HD1000 cam since December, I have a different opinion with the last person's comment about the pistol grip. I think the Sanyo is much more stable, and you can hold it with 2 hands or use your elbow resting against your own body to stabilize the shots.
I have no doubt about that Sony is smaller, but smaller it is, the harder to keep it stable.
Check out this 720p sample .. I think the quality is a bit too soft, and notice the halo around bright objects......

What about a comparison with the IQ in video quality between the Sanyo HD1000 and the Panasonic 3ccd SDR150?
Both vertical camcorder recording on SD flash memory.
How could compare the best XP quality video setting on the Panasonic respect to the HD 720p of the Sanyo? The are now both in the same price range. I know the Panasonic is older not been an HD camcorder bust with still vaulable points: 3ccd, optical stabilizer.

Thanks for that very interesting review.

Do you plan to compare the Sony with the new Sanyo HD1010, since I've read that Sanyo has solved most of the bugs of the HD1000 on this "upgraded" release .

Thanks and cheerio from Paris
