Ok, It seems that High Definition Cameras really seem to have an issue with low light.
Using a JVC GY-HD100 you have to crank down 3 F stops to be of any use in low light.
I am trying to make a decision on "if" to go to HD underwater. But I wanted to know opinions of those using HD. Inparticular the differences in using lighting compared to the 3 older (Non HD) CCD cameras.
JVC has in the past been great with low light and IMHO better than Sony.
There is a huge disappointment with the JVC HD inparticular with low light. Using the camera even for weddings or industrial video requires the scene to be nuked.
So... what is the story by those using HD cameras underwater? Both professional and prosumer types.
Thanks.
