I looked up the specs on the site and the resoultion and fps is the same (720x480@30fps) but they only get 25-30 min of recording out of a 1GB CF card. And using MPEG2 for the compression, the quality is most likely lower (more artifacts, blurry) but I cant say for sure without seeing video and comparing. Best case scenario is that its about the same quality, you just need bigger flash cards.
A bonus of the MPEG2 format is you can directly author a dvd without any video conversions.
