Anyone own/try Panasonic GS85 / 83 vs. a Canon ZR800?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some thoughts on a comparison between these two.

I have a Canon ZR800 which I recently purchased but the noisy picture I get when shooting inside was just terrible for me - it almost looks like there is a setting that is incorrect or that I am watching a converted PAL tape!

Anyway, I'm on a budget and am just looking for comparisons or suggestions if anyone has them on the Panasonic PV-GS83 / 85.

Thank you!

No 1ccd cameras are going to be good in low light. I don't know if the GS85 is any better but it does pick up more and more grain the darker it gets.

Is your camera set to auto? Make sure it is, then you can try the manual iris and see if you can get it any brighter. Usually auto mode will go as bright as it can.
