Canon HF S21 vs Panasonic TM700 « Videomaker Community Forums

It is with dismay that I read the Canon HF S21 was rated the best memory card camcorder for 2010.

Looking at its specs again it is evidently a great camcorder. However, there must be a great many members, myself included, that would have given the nod to the Panasonic TM700 instead.

Is it unfair to request from Videomaker's editors and reviewers to expand on their decision?

I suspect that this is somewhat of a Ford vs Chev debate. I was looking for a new camera and after looking at both the Panasonic and the Canon for months, I opted for the Canon HF S21. The two main factors were 1) the large clear LCD, and 2) it was a Canon - all my previous cameras were Canons. Oh, I also liked the optics and large lens.

It's not whether you're using it or not, but what you're using it for.

The TM700's better in low light, stabilization, and prolike operation in general, but the Canon's simpler, and has better optics. I say go for the Panasonic.
