Great vid! May I ask, what settings did you record this originally (before it was uploaded)? Specifically, I'm wondering if this was shot in 1080 or 720.
I'm sold on it... the low light performance was my biggest question. Restaurants are generally pretty low light here in Canada, don't know about there in Japan.
restaurants are also pretty dark in here... In fact, this place was even darker than a usual restaurant, the main reason that I surely consider the HD1000 performance under low light above the average of the cameras that I used to own. In my humble opinion it is a great ultra-portable high definition camera (with very functional and ergonomic design)
I ordered one off e-bay. My computer might have trouble with 1080i, but 720p is fine, and as a bonus, it does 720P in 60fps too! that is 12mbps bitrate, but my 8gb card is only class 4 which is 9mbps so I'm good for 720p 30fps and lower. That's okay, 640X480 at 60fps is great for action too. especially for doing a slow motion sequence for youtube.
Indeed. To handle 1080i you should be running a pretty powerful pc with a good videocard. Other issue was that Mac computers didnt have an update for full HD in their quicktime... Dunno if Apple already solved the issue but I am pretty satisfied shooting in 720.
Dam waste of a good spoon lol.

What were your settings? Did you change the exposure, put it in "Night Mode", etc.?

Thanks for asking. I have been recording in 1080 for a while but I think for Internet and DVD use 720 should work fine too.

Good low light test. Helped me on my purchase decision for the Xacti HD1000. This was an issues on previous models like my old Xacti C5.

How many hours of video are you getting on a 8GB card in full HD?
warkilla 4 years ago
around 1 hour and 25 minutes if I recall correctly...
tidejp 4 years ago
right on that's pretty good
warkilla 4 years ago
yep! and a 4GB gives 40 to 45 minutes... :-) a decent recording time.

If I'm not mistaken that in the highest resoultion 1080i. On 720p you can get a lot more, but your PC might NOT be able to handle it.
