Panasonic HDC-SD700 test (like HDC-HS700 & HDC-TM700) glasgow botanic gardens

Here is the first edited footage shot on my new Panasonic HDC-SD700 yesterday (20th June10) , it was shot at full hd at 50p, 28Mbps but edited to around 20 Mbps (variable bitrate), as nothing will play higher smoothly, except the camera or a ps3 via usb stick in a bluray structure, .mts (avchd), anyway, this is glasgow botanic gardens and surrounding park..
I have to say,the new cam is utterly amazing, this video does not show the full quality as the only Current way to display the full resoloution and framerate is via the camera itself into the hd tv via HDMI. this will change in time.

in order to edit 50p(60p if ntsc) footage in adobe premiere cs5( i think in any other version too) go to the the link here as the adobe forum are disgussing it, about half way down the page there is a picture showing how to do it.

I finally made some tests in daylight. What can I say? I can only say: wow, the cam is incredible in daylight! Now I need to buy a robust computer in order to start editing.

For now, I only have an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 1.8 GHz, 751 Mb Nvidia Geforce 7000M, 2gb ddr2.

@viforata lol, yeah its quite something huh ? i built a 6 core amd machine.. you really need that, for 50p footage.

I just bought the Hcd hs 700k, can't wait. The image is so clean in your video, and thats just in 480p.

@viforata think you just need to practice, simply switching it to manual wont fix it, you need to play with the settings

[viforata]

@robblac I tried both manual and auto. Not such a big difference in this evening indoor light. Manual focus, manual Iris, manual shutter speed, manula wb. What else can I do? It is a small cam, so I do not expect very good low light footage. I'm not surprised, I was expecting at this. I'm looking forward to test it tomorrow in daylight.

[robblac]

@viforata i can only assume you are using it in auto mode. use manual mode.

I just bought the PAL SD700 today. I only reached home at dark. I made some indoor tests with it. In low light it is very bad (lots of noise, lack of colours, lack of resolution/sharpness)... I' gona test it tomorrow in daylight.
