JVC GR-DF550 vs. 450

Jan 9, 2006 8:58AM PST

I currently have the JVC Everio 20 and am looking for a camcorder with better video quality. I seriously considered the PanPV-GS250, but changed my mind when I saw the size. I've decided to go with the JVC GR-DF550 or the 450. The only question I have before I buy is why the 550 seems to have better specs and more options than the 450 but is always ranked lower.

Consumer Reports ranks the 450 at #2 and 550 at #31
And info would help. Thanks
