Mini DV Quality VS SD or HD

[spellcaster]

Hello,
I am planning to sell my mini dv camcorder to pay for my Fujifilm hs10 camera. I read somewhere that mini DV is far better quality than cameras that use SD or HD. If this is so then i may well keep my camcorder but if the mini dv is not so great these days I will sell it as intended. Which is more superior my Fujifilm HS10 Camera:

The HS10 captures 1080p HD videos at 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps (and several lower resolution options) plus several high-speed movie options ranging from 60fps to 1000 fps - all with stereo audio


Or my Mini DV Camcorder:

I have a mini DV Panasonic. Cost a fair bit. I also have a solid state Samsung that cost half as much.

The Samsung is better even on the lowest settings.
