Canon's FS-series camcorders have problems with image ghosting and trailing in very low light, and turning off the image stabilizer doesn't help. The built-in LED light also does not reach any more than a few feet in front of the camera. Sony's current standard-definition camcorders do surprisingly well in low light despite only having a tiny 1/8th-inch CCD image sensor. The image gets very soft and blurry, but at least it doesn't have any strange motion artifacts. And the LED light also does very well for its size. But when you put these camcorders under good lighting, the Canon outshines the Sony, with a crisper, clearer image and better-defined colors. The Canon's microphone also has better bass response than the Sony's, which is a bit tinny and picks up too much noise from the zoom motor and your fingers operating the controls.
