Low light performance of the Xacti C40

[Cole22]

Hi,

Has anyone got any info on how good the low light performance of the C40 is compared to the C6?

Any links to C40 sample videos? Indoors or low light outside?

There seems to be a lot more HD1 / C6 samples around on this forum and elsewhere in the net but the C40 is much more readily available to buy (at least in the UK) which is strange. I would have thought that also being cheaper it would be the other way round.

Thanks!

The C40 has been discussed here before briefly:

The C40 uses the same "4-pixel mix" technology as the HD-1. If this is true, it may be inferior to the C6's "9-pixel mix" in terms of low light performance, as many people who bought the HD-1 reported.

However I don't see any actual user review here, so this remains only a speculation.

Yeah, I've read that thread and suspected that the low light performace might be like the HD1 but wanted to know if anyone who has one can confirm this for sure or has any samples to share.
