16x9 Canon or Sony?

I'm interested in purchasing a Digital Camcorder which is a good all rounder that offers 'proper' 16x9 recording.

So far I have narrowed down the competition to 3:

Sony PC109E (£499 Jessops)
Sony DCR-HC40 (£459 Currys)
Canon MVX20i (599 Comet)

My personnal preference so far is towards the Sony PC109 but I'm concerned about it's poor recording quality in low light.

Out of these three which would be the better choice?
Or, have I missed a better 16x9 camcorder?

I appriciate your views, comments and suggestions.

Regards,
Steve
