[UPDATE]
I am told this footage has been re-compressed by vimeo's servers from the original 9MBps rate, to only 1.6MBps or so, therefore I can hardly call this footage 'RAW' anymore.

Also, it has a JERKY PLAYBACK because it seems Vimeo's HD mode is optimized/set for 24fps videos, and the Xacti HD700 shoots 30fps progressive.

So nevermind that, I assure you the original footage plays smooth.
[/UPDATE]

Footage from a Sanyo Xacti HD700.

These clips have been provided by Caelum (Steve's Digicams forum member), and I just put them together into a longer clip (with no re-compression in the process).
Other than joining all the individual clips, no editing or any enhancement has been applied to the video.

The actual specifications of the RAW video uploaded are below:

H.264 1280x720, 29,971000 fps (playback), 30fps capture in progressive mode (?), 9MBps video rate, AAC audio @ 128kbps Stereo with a sampling rate of 48000Hz, and a length of 3 minutes and 19 seconds. Final file size was about 220MB.

Ok, everyone donate so I can get mine :P

    I noticed it plays a bit choppy here, and I assume it is because of the 24fps setting @ Vimeo for HD content (where as this video source frame rate is 30fps)

    The original MP4 clips play most excellent and smooth using VLC.

    It plays fine for me, but either way we'll have 30fps soon.

    I think it looks really good for being compressed. I think since the camera is 399 now I might have to get one.

    Acually, i literally just bought this thing last night from Amazon for 299$. i was flat out shocked cuz i was ready to throw down about 450$ for it cuz that was the cheapest i found it anywhere. Then i saw it for 300 and thought it was a steal so i got it right away. I checked Amazon again today and it was 350 which is oddddd but i scored.

    Cant wait to test it out myself!!!!!

    OH and that was with FREE shipping, although i put down an extra 13 dollars to get it here in two days.

    actually i think you can still get it for 300. i thought 350 was weird.

    Depends on the color of the unit -- red, silver, brown -- crazy difference in pricing....

    I noticed that you posted for both the Xacti CG5-6 and the HD700. Which camera do you prefer? We appreciate your sharing your videos. Both cameras look great. We are looking for something that we can take to nearly any function so we can capture as many movies of the kids as possible. The CG5-6 seems to be a bit smaller and might be easier to carry in a pocket.

    Sorry for the late reply. I actually only own the Cg65 from Sanyo and was seriously thinking about getting the Hd700, but waited for others to 'beta-test' the unit :-)

    Now I am happy I did that, because I am very sure that instead, I will be getting the Canon HF100. It appears to be miles ahead from the samples I have seen, and the price has dropped so much, it's a steal.
