Hi Tom, yes you're right there. For some reason I always thought the XM2 was around 600mm. And 480mm for the HC1 at 16:9, or 580mm at 4:3. Well, so it says in the manual.

Anyway, it's still a good range and even more so with the additional resolution.

Hi Gerald, Is there any chance you can post some frames? Lets say some of wich you consider the best, and others under the worst (low light) conditions.

At a recent Local Sony demonstration they had one but it was "chained" so nobody could grab it, and it was conected to a very low quality computer monitor, so I was kind'a dissapointed with what I saw there.

Thanks an congrats on your new cam,

Alexis

HI,
I'm a bit late i know, but I saw your footage just today...
I work as videomaker and often I have to shot just in the
conditions depicted by you in S.Petersburg.
Could you please post some footage or frames?

thanks
