Camera Comparisons... which is my best bet?

[sletts02]

I'm shooting a short film on Monday for my school film&TV assignment.

Our school provides us with Panasonic NV-GS180's.

My family recently purchased a camcorder, Sony DCR-TRV22E

Which would give me the best results for my film? (Don't yell at me, lol, it's the best equipment at my disposal!)

I am wanting to shoot widescreen 16:9 just for the cinematic effect! My understanding is that the NV-GS180 doesn't have image stablizer when it's in widescreen mode?

Thanks

Aaaah, any ideas? Monday is ticking around quickly Thanks

do you require image stablization for your short?

You don't need Image Stabilizer while using tripod. Go ahead with Panasonic.
