The 560V extra cost is in its larger sensor and manual exposure controls. The larger sensor should translate to better video and still image quality, especially in lower light. The manual exposure controls will allow shooting that might otherwise be impossible or of poorer quality because an automatic exposure is fooled in some lighting conditions. I do not know if either camcorder has Sony's Nightshot.
I like to make a lot of movies for a blog. Some of them are simple updates while others are silly music videos or I might take a stab at an artsy video with a real film quality feel. I'm no professional but it's fun anyway. I just can't figure if the 560v is worth the extra $300. I've been reading about the two of them for some time and can't come to a conclusion. Your thoughts?
Also, does the 360v have nightvision? I can't find the answer to this anywhere. Thanks!
