Hi there, i have seen various questions on here from people about quality of camcorder footage. I thought i would upload some examples from my Panasonic HDC-HS300, this camcorder is exceptional in all conditions but in low light it excels. I know it is a tight race between Panny, Sony and Canon but the 3mos (3CCD) sensors capture really vibrant colours. I know this is only 720p and not 1080 but it gives you an idea.

I have put this up to show how useful the manual options are on the Panasonic HDC-HS300, allows for zoom and focus to be put into the hands of the user. In regards to the OIS stabilization this video had no tripod attached it was all hand held. Enjoy the creepiness.
