Dolphins swim alongside boat during MaiTai Catamaran cruise (Oahu, Hawaii)
5 months ago
Halfway through our sunset MaiTai Catamaran cruise a group of spinner dolphins came swimming alongside the boat.
*The Vimeo re-encode really seemed to ruin the motion of the video as this was filmed in 720/60p. It also seems to have noticeably degraded the quality. I would recommend downloading the original file below*
Here's a link to a thread which contains direct links to addtional raw files from the camera, including video shot in 1920x1080 interlaced.

I know what you mean about Vimeo doing a re-encode. I wish that I knew what exact format to render out to so that Vimeo didn't have to re-encode! I have a video of a local fire here in Snohomish and the video looks very choppy. The orginal h.264 video that I used to upload to Vimeo is much better and can be downloaded from the vid page.
I own a HV30 and am very happy with it but of all the memory card recorders, the HD1000 that you have is top notch. Do you like it? Does it have a built in stabizer? (It looks super easy to vibrate around.)

The cons are focus hunting under certain conditions, no optical image stabilization, no 1080/30p, and not so great low light performance under automatic settings. With a manual adjustment called "Exposure Compensation" you can make low light performance much better. The only true problems with the cam, IMO, is the focus hunting and the EIS (electronic image stabilization). I leave the EIS off as it degrades the quality of the video noticeably and doesn't make any real noticeable improvement with de-shaking the video. So if I'm not paying attention my video can get shaky. When I am paying attention I can hold it quite still but I often forget or feel rushed to film something and get shaky video. The focus hunting can get annoying but mostly happens when zoomed in far or with bright backgrounds. So it's not the end of the world but sometimes you have to scratch your head and wonder how this got past the Sanyo testing team and got released without fixing the issue.
So all in all it comes down to what you need most. If you need steadier footage and 1080/30p go with the HF100. If you need a tiny cam that does great video, has 720/60p for sports or other fast action filming, can dump footage to an external hard drive (great for travel), does basic (loseless) in camera editing, and also does a great job as a digital camera with shots up to 4mp quality then this cam is the only one I found that does all this.
It's a trade off... everything is always a trade off. :-)
