I have a Canon Vixia HFS 10 from 2009.
I just bought a Canon Vixia HF R62 a week ago.
The picture quality is staggeringly inferior on the HF R62 and I can not figure out why. Do any of you have any insights or thoughts why this might be? I can plug each one directly into my television via HDMI and you can literally see the pixelation / noise around objects with the newer camera that simply isn't there with the older one.
To the untrained eye this noise would not be a huge deal, but I was looking to get "six years worth" of improved video technology out of this upgrade. Or at the very least - identical image quality. I surely was not expecting inferior.
One comment: I did spend nearly $1,500 on this Vixia HF S10 back in 2009. Is it possible this is simply a higher quality CANON device, and I have purchased a line that never was intended to be as good of quality? Or was that price so high because HD video cameras were brand new back then? I do see there are two Canon HD video cameras that are still in the $1,300 - $1,800 range. Is it possible I've downgraded?
I noticed my 2009 HFS10 has a popup flash / light and this new one has nothing. That seemed odd to me. Maybe this model is considered a lower quality model (HF r62)
Thanks.
