It is a completely different story if I shoot continously and card one runs out of memory (which will happen when I a shooting at music fasivals and did not bring a copmuter to dump footage onto), and as far as I remember the camera will seamlessly jump to next card. When I use SDHC it will tell me on the screen that memory is not enough and it will jump to lower resolution shooting on the fly to be able to record more. It seems like it will not understand that another card in in slot B. Nowadays, I make sure I always force the camera to shoot on a fairly empty card when I expect long shootings.

I have a very early version of this camera, maybe I should get a software update… but I love it, the quality and easy workflow.

I feel these cameras are really best suited for manual settings. Manual White Balance will probably help with your color some. Fuzz to me means the camera increased the video gain, which adds noise, and makes the image appear grainy. You want your gain off or set very low depending on your situation. Another way to get more light might be to manually reduce your shutter speed down to 30 or 15. It will look a little choppy or ghostly with fast moving objects, but at least you can see them.

But bottom line, it takes light to produce colors, so colors aren’t going to look their best if you barely have any light. I will say that when I videotape a wedding reception, often times my gain is all the way up to -18 so that I can see anything at all, and my image looks really bad. But then in post production, I use my grain removal plug-in in adobe premiere to remove it, and it works its magic and looks much better.
