The single-ccd Canon Optura 60 and the Sony DCR-HC90 both are comparable in
price to the 3 ccd Panasonic PV-GS300 (actually the Panasonic is cheaper)
and according to this review http://tinyurl.com/pp466 , the Panasonic has
considerably better video performance. Upon what do you base your claim that
the 3-ccd Panasonics are inferior than the comparably priced Sony and Canon
single-ccd units?
