No.. It looks horrible because it can never get enough light. I've
tried every setting on the exposure control, including automatic.

You are dead wrong. The lux rating is more accurately the "minimum
lux" rating. But that is the minimum neccessary to get a picture, not
the minimum *good picture*. I'm currently borrowing a Sony PD-150
which has a lux-rating of 2 and the indoor shots are extreemly clear.
I also have an older analog hi-8 camcorder which has a lux rating of 3.
It actually boasts a much better indoor image, however, it is a pain
to capture video from that and it doesn't even have S-video so I can't
seperate the chroma (which is bad for green-screen videos)

Yes. I'm familiar with the VX series, but way out of my price range.
And you are correct that the older cameras are more light sensative, as
I mentioned my old 3-lux camera. Unfortunatly, because they are analog
it is difficult to get a good image captured into my computer.
However, I have been meaning to try capturing with that camera to a
hi-8 tape and then playing it back in my digital-8 camera (which will
convert it to digital and stream it over the 1394) and this may
actually give me the chroma/luma seperation I need. But this is a
pain.
