Test footage taken from within a Best Buy store using the demonstration model and my own SD card. Interestingly, the camcorder claimed that the built in flash memory was full, despite there being no obvious pictures or videos on it. It was probably full of viruses. :-P
24 megabit data rate, full HD (1920x1080), MP4 format, 30p
I liked the inclusion of an actual power/charging connector and was very surprised to see both headphone and external microphone connections. Less pleasing was the "ghosting" effect during panning, something that seemed less prevalent in the 60fps mode (only available at the highest recording data rate). The touch screen menus weren't really intuitive and I never found any options to govern the zoom type in use ("1140x" digital, 57x advanced, or 32x optical).
