hi guys!

I have finally narrowed my choices down from Sanyo and Panny - to Sanyo and Sanyo :-)


I have my eyes set on the HD2000 or the FH1.


As far as I know, the FH1 does not have cold shoe for e.g. LED light and not microphone and headset connectors.

Are there any other differences? Is the lens and its brightness the same???

I assume that picture quality should be identical if the lens is also the same.

Get the FH1 over the HD2000. The bigger 3.0" LCD over the 2.7" is reason enough. That extra screen real estate will help your composition, framing and movement tracking. If you do not need the mic inputs, save the $100 and use it towards a good monopod or tripod.
