Canon HF21 and HG21

Hello,

Are the HF21 and HG21 the same camcorder under a different name?

If they are not the same, which is a better one?

so far I've found very little info on the HF21.

Please help.

I read the HF21 has a low light mode so I am going to pick this one up tonight.

Thanks for the reply.

I bought the HF21 last night. Bestbuy had the HF21 on sale for the same price as the HF20 for $799.99 so I figured double the internal memory is worth it.

This thing is awesome in daylight. I saw no problems when viewing it on my Samsung 8500. The detail is amazing. I recorded everything i could this morning from moving cars to a tree being blown pretty hard by the wind. When viewing the video, there were no noticeable fuzziness or grains.

The low light performance on this is average. I recorded video outside with the low light mode on about 15 minutes after sunset and the video is slightly fuzzy when you record moving. Indoor with just 2 fluorescent lamps, the video quality is just as good as if you were recording in daylight.

I'm pretty happy with the HF21 but if the HF20 was cheaper, I would have bought that instead.

Hope this helps for people that are considering the HF21.
