Canon HV10 vs. Sony HC3 Comparison at New York Times

The New York Times has a comparison of the Canon HV10 and the Sony HC3.

About the Sony HC3: “Now, depending on where the Canon’s street price winds up, Sony’s HC3 may be slightly more expensive. But it offers some goodies that the Canon lacks: a minutes-remaining readout for the battery; a nightshot mode for filming in total blackness, infrared-style; and an accessory shoe for video lights and microphones (proprietary Sony accessories only). The Sony model also has an HDMI jack. HDMI is a single cable that carries high-definition video and audio - a common, extremely convenient connector on high-def equipment.”

And the Canon HV10? “The Canon offers some perks of its own. In addition to its superior stabilizer and focusing system, it does better in low light, with fewer of the dancing, grainy pixels that mar the HC3’s dim-setting work. It also has a built-in video light that’s a real help - at least within interview range - at nighttime parties, postconcert wrap-ups and Blair Witch-style memos to posterity.”
