Canon Optura Mini DV Blog |

the choices are the sony sr62, and the canon hv10, hes currently making professional movies with his canon optura 600, he is concerned that perhaps the zoom on it is in the wrong place, but hes okay with it, he thot it had to be under his index finger. he doesnt make nething 4 the TV, just 4 home and internet, he wants sumthing that can fit in his hand, price isnt a concern, first he thot about the sony, now hes thinking about the canon which is similar to the one he has now, so which one wud be the better buy??

First off, grammar and spelling go a LONG way. I was not going to answer you question at first because of the catch line and the details butchering the English language.

Sony has 15X better optical zoom
Canon has 7mm more filter size
Sony has better Wide Focal Length
Canon has better Manual Focus controls
Canon Has Audio-In, Sony does not

Personally, I would go with the Canon if you are not going to be needing distance shots (like nature shots), but if you are, then Sony will be the winner, for it has better optical zoom. (Digital zoom is worthless, all it does in increase pixel size, cutting quality big time)
If you need anymore help, email my profile. The links for the specs of the cameras are below.

Hope this helps,
