Why Camcorders in Night mode they start lagging and not smooth and stable?

Why is the image of my Panasonic HDD camcorder worse than VHS camcorders? I just the Panasonic SDR-H60 camcorder, I read reviews about the camcorder and all reviews gave it solid reviews. Not phenomenal, but right on par with what you'd expect from a camera in this price range...the $500's. But, when I've recorded and played it back on my tv, the image is very fuzzy and pixelated...worse than the wet/crisp look of vhs camcorders of old. And I've put the recording on the best setting...XP. Why is the resolution so poor? I know it's not an HD camera, but shouldn't the image be clear and not pixelated? Is there something I can do? If not, what camera within the $500 range would you recommend that gives nice clean and crisp images? Thanks!

Audio quality and recording time on Panasonic AG-DVC60 and Sony HVR-HD1000U Camcorders? I'm interested in purchasing either a Panasonic AG-DVC60 or Sony HVR-HD1000U for legal video, but reviews say audio is really bad on those camcorders. If I'm going to hook lavaliere mics to a mixer, and then connect the mixer to the camcorder, will the camcorder's mic interfere with that (lessen audio quality) in any way? Secondly, these cameras will only let me record 60 to 80 minutes before having to stop proceedings to reload the camera. Can I hook up either camera to a laptop and record directly on a hard-drive?
Question about flash memory camcorders, such as Canon HF-100 or Panasonic HDC-SD7? I want to buy a good camcorder which can offer good image as well as convenience and long time stability. Lots of people recommend flash memory based camcorders. But some people also mentioned editing will be difficult for canon HF100 or Panasonic HDC-SD9. Especially, I need a powerful computer to do it, not a normal laptop. I used to edit tape based video with laptop. It is fine. Before I purchase, I just want to know why flash memory camcorder needs more powerful computer. Question 1: Is powerful computer a must for all tapeless camcorder, such as HDD, flash memory? Or it is just because high-definition tapeless camcorder needs good computer? I notice the word "AVCHD". Does the trouble come from this guy? Question 2: Does Canon HF-100 or Panasonic HDC-SD7 offer low definition option which I can edit with slower computer? thanks a lot!

Best camcorders compatible with Mac? I'm looking for a camcorder compatible with Mac; the only one advantage I can think is the ability to use iMovies to edit your clips from the camcorder. Are there any other advantages aside from this? Also, many have recommended hard-drive camcorders due to its storage capacity, but others argue that MiniDV camcorders produce much better quality? I am eyeing two camcorders: Panasonic SDR-H18 (http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/panasonic-sdr-h18/4505-6500_7-32343416.html?ar=o&tag=pdtl-list) and Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 (http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/sony-handycam-hdr-sr7/4505-6500_7-32427828.html?ar=o&tag=pdtl-list). I guess being able to edit video clips isn't that important to me, but I'd like my clips to be compatible to Mac to prevent more troubles in the future. I like the idea of getting a hard-drive since the storage capacity would be much bigger while at the same time, I would not want to compromise video quality. What advice would you give? Thanks!

What camcorders are comparable to the Panasonic AG-HMC40, and how do they stack up? I am looking to purchase a Panasonic AG-HMC40 camcorder and was wondering how people felt about them and what was comparable, but still solid state recording in the 1800 dollar price range give or take 200 dollars. I like the idea of solid state because I do not enjoy using DV tape. Unless someone could talk me out of it. I would be using the camera to record documentaries, music videos, shorts, etc. at a college/semi professional level.

In camcorders, who is better? Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Samsung, or JVC? I'm pretty sure Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung all fall behind the other two. But I'm looking for a professional video camera for under 2000 dollars. It needs: good battery life magnificent quality (The HDest HD) very good quality in low light shots (dark rooms, nighttime) good memory a boom mic Auto Focus (this is less desirable than the rest) Any Other Good Functions For An Aspiring Movie Maker. I currently use a Sony Handycam, and my friend has a JVC camcorder and my other friends have Samsung. The JVC quality seems superior to Sony while Sony seems superior to Samsung. Also, these are the camcorders, not the professional video cameras like i want. Also, what do real movie crews use? Under 2500 dollars*
