I just wanted to state something I didnt realize from my research between the HV10 and HC3 cameras.
Because you can manually set the shutter to 1/30 or less on the HV10, you can get far better low light shots than the HC3!
With the HC3 you cant force the shutter speed below 1/60. There is an auto-slow-shutter mode but its unpredictable and largely worthless IME.
The 1/30 shutter mode is highly, highly useful on the HV10. (A bonus side effect - your shoot looks more like film at 30fps than 60fps!). The 1/15 mode even has its uses.
Dont count this camera out for low-light mode. After comparing the two, I'm sticking with the HV10.
