Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3I74H4G99VMB0 @ Everyone complaining about how poor this camcorder fares in a low-light condition should take a look at this test I conducted with the Canon Vixia HF11. Keep in mind that the HF11 and the HG21 both have the same specifications except that the HG21 has a 120GB HD, (which I care little about cause my 16GB class 6 flash drive will transfer the videos files to the PC HD faster than the built-in HD on the camera) and a viewfinder (the main reason I've returned the HF11). Before I got the HF11, I specifically looked for reviews (mostly videos) of the low-light performance of the camcorder and almost nearly everyone that had the video tests mentioned the Cinema mode as the best mode to use in a low-light condition. Though, I'm still waiting for the HG21 to come in the mail but I can bet my last buck that if I ran the test today using the same settings I used for HF11 test, the outcome would be the same. Bottom line is, try the Cinema Mode and see for yourselves. By the way, someone posted a nice low-light condition video that they claim they shot in the Program AE mode. I didn't try that but it's worth the shot. I did tested other frame and bit rates on youtube; search man0war777 (zero between man and war). Peace!
PS: I only rated this camera (even though) I haven't tested it only because I can't post this review without doing so. Therefore, my comments are only based on the Canon Vixia HF11. . .just try the Cinema Mode and see the difference. Good luck y'all! Canon VIXIA HG21 AVCHD 120 GB HDD Camcorder with 12x Optical Zoom
