Honestly, we didn't expect Sony to make such a significant improvement to the performance of the new HDR-PJ710V. But the camcorder is improved over last year's high-end Handycams, and nearly all of improvement comes in the form of stronger low light performance. The HDR-PJ710V showed less noise, stronger colors, and a far better low light sensitivity than last year's HDR-CX700V. And these better low light numbers positions the new Sony PJ710 to better compete with the HC-X900M from Panasonic and the HF G10 from Canon—both of which are currently fighting for space at the top of our camcorder rankings.
