Hi mates,
I am making a thread because I am extremely conflicted between getting either the Sony CX550V or the Panasonic TM700. I have read up on the other threads comparing the two and it just makes me more conflicted. Here is the situation that I am in; I need to buy a camera before May 20th because I am leaving to go on an around the world trip this summer.
I want a camera with full manual controls with a ring or the dial that Sony has. The CX550V has added the manual shutter speed which is very important to me so in terms of manual controls they are both the same. I am not worried about the storage space because I have a 32gb SDHC card so that will give me enough space on both cameras for a decent amount of record time.
Here are my main likes on each camera
Sony CX550V:
-Wider angle lens (not by much)
-possibly better low light performance
-possibly better image stabalizer
Panasonic TM700:
-Records in 1080 60p
-$200-$300 dollars cheaper
Sorry for the massive thread, but I am struggling with this decision and want to get as many different opinions on what to get. Thanks guys...
Oh also do you guys think it is worth it to spend around 200 backs for a service warranty and stuff...THANKS
