The PD150 is renown for its lowlight performance, there are none better in the 1/3" 3 chip range of camcorders from any manufacturer, other than the PD170, but the difference is negligible. Even the latest HDV models can't match the low light performance of this camera. Have you viewed your footage on a tv screen or are you just judging the image on your pc monitor? Where was the footage taken, outside in daylight or under poor lighting inside? If you hook your PD150 directly to a tv and the footage looks good, then the problem must lie in the settings you are using for capture to your pc or in your edited output. What codec are you capturing with and does that match the project settings in FCP?
Just to add, to get the best out of the camera manual settings are desirable, but the PD150 holds pretty good auto functioning.
Rick.
