There are a variety of features to look at when it comes to image and video quality. Some of the things to consider are the zoom, still camera resolution, focal length, LUX rating and recording speed. All of these features combined make sure that you get a quality image in whatever lighting or position you may be standing.
Canon HF G10 Comparison
We enjoyed many of the updates initiated by Sony on the HDR-CX700V, but the truth is, we liked the updates made by Canon on its new Vixia HF G10 even more. Canon tried out a new sensor system on the HF G10 that uses a smaller concentration of pixels on its CMOS imager. The idea paid off, as the HF G10 currently sits atop our rankings as the best camcorder for low light videography. This new sensor system did force the G10 to take a hit in other categories, particularly still image performance, but we felt the benefits in low light far outweighed the camcorder’s detriments elsewhere.
The big feature the HF G10 lacks, however, is a Full HD 1080/60p record mode. Canon, who has long been known as the king of multiple frame rate options, has yet to offer a 60p record mode on any of its consumer camcorders. The HF G10 does have a PF24, PF30, and 24p record mode, though, so it is not without options. The fact that Sony finally got around to offering multiple frame rates this year on the CX700V is very exciting, and it gives consumers who are looking for 24p recording more options.
Canon also wins the battle in terms of handling and controls. The HF G10 has more control options, a better designed lens ring, and the body of the camcorder feels more rugged and professional. The Sony HDR-CX700V is no chump when it comes to controls, but its poorly-designed adjustment dial and lack of advanced controls would probably not satisfy a professional or prosumer videographer.
The competition here is close, particularly because Sony implemented so many long-awaited features on the new HDR-CX700V, but the Canon HF G10 is still the better product for someone looking for a professional-grade camcorder. The Sony HDR-CX700V may be the better choice if you are a more novice camcorder user, but you still want access to top-level image quality. We also love that the CX700V can record standard definition video if you want to (in addition to HD). This makes it a great “bridge” model for those who want to shoot in both formats.
