    I’ve been shooting with the VariCam for about 3 years. Just bought a 900 about 2 months ago. The 900 has a slight edge in PQ due to better processing. Less noise, especially in low-light. I’ve intercut footage shot from both cameras into a show and they are pretty much indistinguishable. Other than that, it really just comes down to features.

    Search this out, it’s been discussed in detail many times. Biggest difference is VariCam has variable frame rates as it’s biggest plus vs. 900 has SD down-convert built-in, 1080 & 720 selectable and has Firewire out.
