Panasonic HDC-SD700GCK vs Canon HF S200

[nkhoo]

Hi, I'm considering to purchase either the panasonic or the canon and was wondering if any bros out there could provide some advice on which would be a better video cam.

Purpose of the video cam is to record my holiday trips.

if u dun mind the risk, can try to get it online... its much cheaper but no warranty of course...

i got the built in 96GB version at a much lower price than the local 32GB version...

Just played around with the SD700 yesterday and was totally floored by some of the features.
The OIS was the best I ever seen on ANY camera. Full tele and full wide made little difference to the stability of the shot.
Focus assist comes with color peaking! Blue outline appear around subject if it is in focus.
Full manual control over AGC. Amount of AGC can be varied. About 6 different levels.
VU meter for audio.
Low light was unbeleivably good for a 3MOS 1/4". I don't know how it is possible but it produced less noise than even GH1/G2.

Eyeing of this panasonic camcorder too, but seems like there is a 3D version (maybe a new 3D adaptor lens mounted in front of the camcorder) to be announced next wednesday. So wait longer to see first.:think:
