This is one of the things I love about the DVX100A, its ability to handle shots like these.
Given that these were taken on a small aluminium boat in rough water, they're a bit blurry (from memory, had a standard shutter speed of 1/50th). But my point is more about the contrast and colours of the pictures, and how it handles the bright white sparkles on the water. On other camera's, shots like this the sparkles will be overexposed. But the DVX100A (just on F6 mode, from memory) manages to keep the detail of the light on the water. It looks much more like 16mm film to me, rather than digital video.
