Hello!

I am looking for a camcorder which let me make movies
which are good and fluent in progressive settings.
I suppose that 30p will be the best choice for it.
I also look for a camcorder which will be good for making
movies in low light without noise.
I have Canon HF100. Unfortunately this camcorder doesn`t
have good movie quality while making movies in low light
and there are a lot of noise. Only CINEMA mode makes
the situation better, but the video is darker.
Does Canon HF200 let me achieve these things I want?
I`ve noticed that HF200 has 24 Mbit/s and on HF100 is
only 17 Mbit/s. How does this bitrate have impact on
fluentness of movies? Sorry for my English, I hope you know
what I mean?
What does HF200 have better than HF100?
Does HF200 record better videoes in low light?
Unfortunately HF200 doesn`t have 30 frames/s:( (progressive):(

Please answer on my questions
I will really apprieciate your help

Are you in Poland? I don't think that at the HF100/HF200 price level
you'll find many camcorders that offer a 30p (actually 29.97p)
shooting mode. Generally, in Europe, you'll see 25p and in a few
instances 25p and 50p.

I would recommend that you take a look at the Panasonic HDC-TM700
(and/or the HDC-SD700 if it's available in your area), or if it's not
too expensive for you, the Sony PMW-EX1R.
