The format spec allows up to 24 Mbps; most likely we'll see that in an AVC Intra codec on a later, higher-end Panasonic camcorder. For now, there's nothing wrong with 13 Mbps as the best recording setting for this and other Panasonic AVCHD camcorders. It's right in line with 15 Mbps on some HDD-based AVCHD camcorders and 12 Mbps on some disc-based AVCHD camcorders. Hope this helps,

Thanks Cris.
I must say Iīm a bit confused.
I thought that the codec was the same be it Sony or Pana or Canon but I guess itīs not.
So you canīt just compare the bitrates from different companys as I did?
Cheers
