Canon Vixia HF vs Sony HDR-MV1 - Look At Me Play Guitar

Lots of guitar players like to shoot video of themselves, I'm one of them. I've used several different "music cameras" over the years but it's been a long time since I shot with a consumer camcorder. It turns out that the Canon Vixia HF series is both critically acclaimed and darned cheap, so I gave in to an impulse buy and added an HF R500 to my camera collection. This video is a comparison of the Sony MV1 and the Canon R500 shooting me playing solo guitar in my "studio" with a black backdrop and a bunch of makeshift lights. I've done a writeup with a bit more info at the Homebrewed Music blog: http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2016/1...
