well Canon are really good, and about the price, the HFS21 I own isn't cheap at all. When I bought it, it was around 1500$
Indeed Panasonic is the other "TOP" trademark. I never tried them anyway.
Canon is good for lens too for other kind of stuff

Re: discussions about camcorders
I don't think Sony + JVC are bad, but it seems like the top reviewed camcorders are typically Canon + Panasonic.

Re: discussions about camcorders
I want a cam for the future. You know 3D is coming! And Canon has no good 3D options. Huge Cams (Professional). I had have the 3D Cam from Sony in my hand. The Cam made a great picture but the Cam is very big! Panasonic is smaller. Let's see HC-X800 comes out at the end of march!

Re: discussions about camcorders
For Canon users I have a question. What settings do you use to get the best results for indoor shows ?

Re: discussions about camcorders
I think Norbinho or bobmetallicafreak can help you. I think they are using Canon Cams

Re: discussions about camcorders
You'll test it trully during the show. If cam doesn't loose much image quality while fast flashing lights in the dark place, then it's a good choice imo.

Re: discussions about camcorders
I filmed at home a little bit in the 3D converter mode and watched the product on a 3D TV. And I saw not a really 3D recording. I sent the JVC back.

This Cam makes a brilliant picture! The weight is low. Buy if you can! But like I said 3D pictures is like a 2D picture. But a GREAT Cam if you don't need a 3D mode

Re: discussions about camcorders
Krzych I am not stupid. I testing a cam if i wanna buy a cam months before a show! Picture, handling a cam, battery and so on. Therefore I can not understand who someone can say oh my battery died after the 10th song! I like perfectionism. The only one who can stop me to make a recording are the security guys.
And if I am remember correctly the Panasonic HC-X800 has 10 light programs and the cam choose the right by herself! This cam is a revolution like Panasonic said, but I will see. My demands are high.
