This post is quite old but I am also looking for a “prosumer ” camera and have listed down the Panasonic TM 900 /700 and the Canon HF G10. The Canon has an edge on low light, but the Panasonic has a multifunctional ring.
Could anyone tell me if the ring in the Panasonic can be configure to control the manual zoom? I’ve read a review saying that the ring only controls zoom “in auto mode”. This is a major disanvantage.
