A side by side comparison of DSLR and camcorder. Both cameras used the predefined WB setting of tungsten. Both cameras used auto exposure and manual focus. On HF-S100 I used 25p cine mode. D7000 was shot using 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6 VR kit lens. HF-S100 was shot with a WD-H58 0,7x wide angle lens. Default sharpening on D7000 is 3. I have set it to 6. After this test, I played around and set the saturation to -1. That seems to make the colors look good, but not too saturated. Comments on the video: 00:16 - There seems to be some moiré on the back of the sign at the left side on D7000. HF-S100 has no moiré there, but is also blurry. 00:30 - The details and colours on the left side looks superb on D7000 compared to the rather dark and blurry image from HF-S100. 00:54 - The colours on D7000 looks a bit too saturated. The details in the concrete in front of the car is again blurry on HF-S100. Notice the star shaped lens flare on HF-S100. This camera uses a 4-segment iris, which in my opinion makes an ugly flare. 01:06 - The HF-S100 is really struggling to get some colours. The IKEA sign in the back there should be yellow. I'm not sure if this is a result of using cine-mode. 02:04 - The flashing on D7000 might be a result of the camera adjusting ISO up and down as the car passes the light. It could also be reflections in the windshield. 02:30 - Again, superb sharpness and colours on the building to the right on D7000. 02:38 - The Parliament in Oslo looks so bad on HF-S100. The ...
