Frage von Camfun:... well, the idea my favorite GS-500 einzutauschen against the SD-100 (without hard drive) I do not go out of your head.
HD hardware is already available. Until now I have 80% of holiday movies rotated, need very little low light capabilities. However, in testing the SD-100 regarding picture quality and sharpness is not sooo well. Did someone already have a 'comparison of experience "made? Is the change ... ?

Hello,
in weak light, the new SD 100 a bit worse (Color and brightness) as your 500th GS Test pictures you can see in Videoaktiv.de.
The sharpness can be so with the GS 500 does not compare, as the GS 500 yes to the good old 720x576 PAL class counts - s.deinem HD device, the SD 100 on every case, a better figure - at least in daylight. Yes, the SD 100 is in the sharpness with its HD competitors, but unfortunately not on a stage.
Look at the times closer to camera, the SD 100 because many functions on the ring has (Shutter, Aperture, WAG etc) like the Panasonic is not any experienced filmmakers. This is particularly true in the manual to filmmakers.
In the long term, the good old GS 500, the worse cards anyway, sooner or later you will always change.
Now the question is how much you, the GS 500 Picture "suffering" is.
