Can you post a link to a raw mts file for us to take a look at? Thanks!

This looks like something I would do. Just walk around with the camera recording just for the hell of it. Take a look at this. http://vimeo.com/2930288. The shooting style looks similar in a lot of those clips since I was mostly fooling around. I agree that it’s better to post the original if you can. If not than at least post a version with a much higher bit rate. That’s if it belongs to you and if you cant than this thread is pointless. A lot of the clips in that Azores video looks better and I used an old A-HD camcorder for crying out loud. They were recorded in 720 30p.

If you want good examples of 720 60p from the GH1, just look at these clips. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?p=1729382#post1729382

I don't think you can say, "Don't dare buy the GH1, its the devil!!! All your footage will look like this!" when the majority of footage from the GH1 looks really, really good for a 1500 dollar photo camera.

Does all your footage look like that, or was it a fluke?

Just a joke ;P I love the GH1. More bitrate / better encoding would be appreciated tho ;P

Ah, I wasn't totally sure you were playing. I was going to say that it looked like that video was shot on a cheap kodak camera and enlarged.
