Sony HC-3 or A1U better?

[bigshark]

Would anybody know which camcorder has better image quality? The Sony HC-3 or the A1U? If so, how much difference would you say one is better than the other? I'm trying to decide which HDV I should get. I mainly use it for underwater filming purposes so one that works better in low light would be a plus also.

Thanks and I'll appreciate any input.

Hi!

Follow this link...http://esupport.sony.com and enter the model numbers on the mid right section of the page. You can view or download the operation manual and spec sheet (in pdf format) and see which one would suit your needs.

The thing to look for is how many lux the CCD imagers will do, as well as resolution spec, which will be listed on the spec sheets. The greater these numbers, the better the camera for resolution and low light conditions.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your advise! I checked and now I'm clear that the A1U is better.

Thanks a lot!!!!!
