Canon HF20 ComparisonPanasonic HDC-TM10 Comparison
The HDC-HS60 is a better camcorder than the HDC-TM10 hands down. It has a larger sensor, which translates into significantly better video performance, and its 120GB internal hard drive means you don’t have to worry about running out of space to store your videos (for a while, at least). The HDC-HS60 also has a wider lens, bigger optical zoom, and better still image capabilities than the TM10. The only real benefits of the HDC-TM10 are the fact that it is smaller than the HS60 and that it has a more comfortable grip. The HDC-TM10 also has a 24p mode (Digital Cinema Mode), which is conspicuously absent on the HDC-HS60.
Since the HDC-TM10 is a 2009 model, it is very likely you could find a good deal for one online (around $400). Even with this price difference, however, we feel the HDC-HS60 is the better buy. Its performance is so much better than the HDC-TM10 that we feel it’s a clear winner. If you don’t like recording to an internal hard drive, you should check out the HDC-TM55 or HDC-SD60—both of which cost less than the HDC-HS60, but should have nearly identical performance (all three camcorders have the same lens and sensor components).
