hmc40 sports/fast movement tests?

I'm uploading two videos from the HMC40 as we speak. One using custom output settings from Adobe Premier to match the video quality it was shot with and the other using Youtube's present Widescreen HD settings within Adobe Premier. It will be interesting to see if Youtube looks better using 59.94 fps or the default of 24 fps. It's a basic walk around my extremely messy office in really low light. Stay tuned...the user name on youtube is hmc40videos in case you want to subscribe.

Here's some testimonial videos I put up on Youtube from my Glamis, CA dune trip.

All of this whipped together as one video for the SEMA show that just ended...all rough cuts, very little editing done to make them look more professional. I'm very impressed with the camera, and I've found that my matthews tripod when shooting today is a huge help. I'm shooting out in UT today and the next two days, and using the tripod makes all the difference in the world for quality shots. I played it through component out as 1080i, even though I shot it in 720/60p, and it looked outstanding on the television today. Unbelievable actually. The exposure was spot on, colors at +1 chroma look great. So far, I'm very pleased with the camera.

Great stuff Chris.

Here are some clips from a last minute drive I went on. Did not have time to prepare so just put the HMC40 on a mount (should have used a polarizer and need to get a bigger mount so the hood can be used) . Also did some hand held footage while driving. I am very satisfied with the OIS of the camera. Also the built in mic did fine.

Very cool...If it's anything like my Bogen Magic arm, the shorter the length the better for vibration. To me your video came our very good in the car...

Here's a video I just completed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4utezpM6s8

It was filmed using the HMC40 in PH720/60p with the following setup:

- Panasonic Wide Angle .7x Lens
- No ND Filters
- Rode Videomic with Dead Cat for Sound
- Matthews M25 Tripod
- OIS On
- Slow Motion is 25% of normal speed
- Edited with Adobe Premier CS4 on a Macbook Pro 17"
- Outputted using Mainconcept H.264 Youtube HD preset, but changed the fps to 59.94 from 24 fps.
- +1 Chroma

Any pointers, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
