Are you sure you didn't put some greasy fingers over the lens?
Waiting for the night comparisons.

Nope. Lens cleaned every time before test.
Cowon has much lower bit-rate than CF-100 ( 7.5 vs 15 ), also too much brightness by default, set to 5, but can be adjusted on a scale 1-9. So I guess reducing brightness to 3 or 4 maybe would make video a little bit better. Contrast also need to be adjusted.

Night video test is posted in other side by side thread.
