Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS - HD Video quality test

Testing 720p video with my new Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS outside with our girls and nephew. We recently broke our Kodak EasyShare V1253 and decided to upgrade the zoom. I have been very surprised to find that recording short horse demonstration videos from a tripod were much better quality than those from sub $1000 HD camcorders.
My needs are very specific...
1. Short videos from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
2. SDHC cards.
3. True 720p resolution 1920x780.
4. Excellent clarity within 20-30 yards.

Things I didn't need...
1. Extremely good image stabilization...I usually record from a tripod outside of the corral...while I am inside the corral.
2. Several hours of video. I usually work on things in short bursts for studying later. 4 4Gb SDHC cards give me about 60 minutes which is plenty. A 4 Gb card will usually give me 29 minutes but sometimes a little less...with an extra card to spare.

Looks like crap in 360p. Wonder why! Looks great in HD, though!

I have the same camera --it's nice. This video is a bit choppy.  I don't know if it's because of YouTube, the upload or your camera. My video used to be choppy, too, but I solved it by getting a bigger memory card -4GB.
