"I don't understand why this HMX-H104 receives a 71 score from Mr. Yale but the exact same camera, with expanded storage as the only difference, receives a 91. Other than the size of internal storage, these cameras are supposed to be the same. Yet the 104 gets dinged for battery life and the 106 doesn't. Just trying to understand if these cameras really are different. I keep wanting one but the negatives begin to outweigh the positives. Thanks for any insight!"
