on another point i have used a rode stereo mike with my fx-7 and found it great far better than the on board and the volume setting never needed adjusting till last week when i filmed a village fair i always film,most was ok exept for brass and bag pipe bands, the resulting sound was terrible even reducing volume in pc crazed etc clearly i should have reduced the sound level.although last year filming with my hc-1 and a ecm-hqp1 mike the sound was great without altering the volume.below is a clip of the fair with rubbish sound clearly i must reduce volume for bands like this am i correct.chris

Baby horses! You can't go wrong with cute animals. That's a nice postcard sort of video with good composition. Did you use any camera filtration or post processing?

Yes, you must reduce volume for loud sources.

sorry i did not spot your reply till now,no filtration or post production.

With which software you did the deinterlacing and wmv converting?
Also, the dimension of your video is 1280x720. Can you set the 1440 pixel height of the 4:3 cmos directly to 720? Or have u made these changes in post production?
Looks pretty good - i'm searching for a semi-pro hd cam myself...
