Best ProHD cam for sharpness in HD? at DVinfo.net

Howdy...

I'm looking to add another HD event camera to my kit, and I'm most concerned about sharpness and lowlight performance, especially at longer zooms...

I'm thinking about an HM620. Wondering how that would stack up to a used HM850 for sharpness, or even a HM700 series...

I could also wait for the new (and, it seems, much delayed) HM500 line, but I don't really need the 4k, unless it would make the 1080 output sharper...

Would love to get your thoughts on this....

Thanks,

Ben

the 700 and 800 cameras have better lenses, and for me, this is enough. My 700 series cameras I really like. the similarities in design are there, so it's if you can find the form factor better or worse.
