Looks pretty nice. One thing that would improve it though is to lock in a shutter speed and iris so it doesn't dim and brighten because of changing background brightness.

Hello Andy! Well done.

I have the same model camcorder & am learning how to use it (RTFM and all that).

While editing the AVCHD output with Ulead Videostudio, I am seeing the video equivalent of "pointer trails" during panning sequences. This "trailing" isn't seen when the same sequence is viewed using a direct connection from the camcorder to an HDTV.

I do not see any trailing in your clip, which leaves me wondering about the cause.

Any plans for an HDC-SD1 review on cwob.com?

I'll be rooting for your future demise if that'll make you happy! But who would upload if you're gone? You better stick around after all.

I want a hat like yours.
