I've been using an Xacti HD2 for the past couple years as my main video unit. It does 'okay' in normal mode, but it has a big button, when pressed, turns on the High Sensitivity Mode. Other Xacti' I've owned didn't have that feature. http://blip.tv/file/get/MMMMMoon-CalledMySister216.mov This clip was shot in our Cabana; basically a shed in the back where we celebrate being Canadian. Anyhow, the Cabana in this clip is lite with a couple candles and string of LED white-blueish lights. There is not enough light to read with. I figured the lighting might be comparable to scenes your buddy would be shooting. Anyhow, it's an older model Xacti, has a mic-in and shoots up to HD 720p.
