hello,
i am curious to know in terms of the quality of video how much better the optura is over the elura.
i know the optura has optical image stabilization and the rgb color filter, but overall is there a significant difference in the quality of the video between these 2 cameras?
i would imagine that in regular daylight outside, they are similiar as most reviews of all camcorders say that they do a good job outside and most camcorders do a less than good job indoors.
there is a part of me that says that for the most part they take about the sam quality of video, but I could be wrong. I'd hate to spend $700 for an optura only to find out that for $200 less, I can have basically the same quality video results.
i haven't found any stores near me that carry these models, so i can't go and see for myself.
i understand the the optura has more bells and whistles, but i don't know how many of them other than the audio control that i would actually use.
and advise would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
