JVC GY-HM100 vs Canon XHA1
 

All of my videos are just home videos of kids and family.

I have been using a Canon XHA1 for some time now. I have been busy the last few weeks dumping all these tapes to the PC.
This is what I really hate about the camera, tapes!

So I bought a JVC GY-HM100.
It is smaller, lighter and takes SD cards.

I am not sure if it is settings or what, but the quailty out of the JVC is nothing like the canon.

Anyone use the JVC? Is this what I get for "downgrading" cameras?
