Quality of the movie is once again magnifiscent! The V1253 has a depth of field I like I have never seen before in any camera under $1500. I investigated the sensor size of this camera, it's a near full 2/3 inch sensor! All the other consumer and prosumer camera's use an 1/3 inch sensor AT MOST! DOF is really important to get that cinematic look. The large sensor size also gives great dynamic range of the colors. It's a pity this camera has no manual settings and the progressive X264 codec is a little sparse (13Mbps), although still much better than the Sanyo's (9 Mbps) and the interlaced AVCHD format.

Wow! Which camera did you use? Since the detail, colors and depth of field are amazing!
