Re: Does (cropped sensor) DSLR offer better image than 1/3" chip camcorder, in general?

Thanks, David. Just wondering...
Do you think there is much in the way of processing differences between the T3i and the HF M400? In other words, aside from the differences in sensor size, is the codec in one camera better than the codec in the other? (And, would this subsequently impact output video quality from my NLE when doing composite video editing?)
Thanks very much for your insight.
Vic
