OK, I'm sure this is a common question but i'd be grateful for people's thoughts on the relative virtues and vices of these two 3CCD cameras. I know the Sony has anologue in/out while the Panasonic only has analogue out. Otherwise what is there to justify a four hundred pound difference in price? I've heard that the panasonic is perhaps better picture quality with a tripod but that the image stabilizer is not as good as the Sony's - can anyone confirm this. Thanks. Bruce(posted 8928 days ago)
