Here are some V1U clips of (small skittish) birds. Most were made at 60i using the 1.5X digital zoom and a 1.5X tele-converter (16x9). Some of the clips were 30p to begin with. All but one clip was scaled to 640x360 using Compressor. One clip was scaled to both 640x360 and 1280x720.

Nice Video! Do you have any full size files to view and evaluate (1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720)? I would really like to see how well the camera and extenders did on this video. Thanks.
