"SonyDCR-HC 44" or 46 or "Panasonic NV-GS180 (EG-S)" 
 - They ask me just because I am one of them wanted me to purchase ;-) 
 As your expert, maybe you can direct me to one of the models of a guess or advise? 
 I think both models s.beiden enough disadvantages than advantages synonymous, so that a decision for someone who is not yet too much with this issue, not very easy. Thank you in advance for the help;)

Hi 
 The GS180 has in any case the better picture but for me the very serious disadvantage that they are in 16:9 mode has no image stabilization. 
 Of all the Sony HC96 I generally do not think much, therefore synonymous of the HC46 nothing. 
 Get ready for the Canon MVX460 views, which is my favorite in this price class. Is synonymous without av-dv-in and in as MVX450, she is still a bit cheaper.

Well the 16 / 9 mode, the GS 180 brings eh hardly resolution & wide benefits should only be about 2 °, no Comparison to SonyHC 96th The you can then safely turn off. 
 Also a reason why some magazines from the GS 180 as a bad stability asserted, but maybe if this was switched off. But is not that easy for the GS 180 - I will be - you may be a function with the other feature off (on 16 / 9 = stability from stability a = 16 / 9 off) Pana would probably prefer to make a lock and the flag directly. 
 I had my mustard & Test pictures of VAD HC 44 vs. GS 180 already posted.

Jo, thank you very junx, 
 synonymous got some more tests on the net read as much as the verbatim here: (English) http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-PV-GS180-Camcorders-Review.htm 
 Therefore, I now tend very strongly to the GS180! 
 Tested was probably the version of the U.S. market, which is probably identical to the EU should be? 
 Is actually supplied with a Firewire cable (4-4) also with SMALL PC connection here?
 Antwort von  Jan:

In the normal scope of a MiniDV Cam is at least in the consumer never a FW cable, which - forced savings. 
 Although if the Manufacturer One mitgeben would be the 4 / 6 to 4 pin (with adapter) then it would need a laptop has a different one of the PC tower, a third party wants to s.seinem Mac the 9 pin connector with the second data channel. Well honestly much more than  ¬ 15 cost synonymous a good cable.

Well, I think I have a cheap eBay cable will buy ....... I think the quality might not be so bad, if only synonymous cheap copper inside it. Forward should be synonymous, right? 
 Whether the cable length eohl something from it - or whether as synonymous NEN 3m cable can use - without sacrificing quality?
