Yes, nothing like that makes any difference. I feel quite sure that it's nothing to do with processing or image enhancement, it feels to me like there's some kind of obstacle inside the lens.

I wish I could be specific, but all I can say is that it feels like i've just discovered depth of field for the first time. This may be partly due to the way the EX does peaking which highlights the...

No issues with the cars themselves, the only time I see the effect (and it's difficult to make out) is when panning back to reset the shot past some lamp posts and a fence. As you say, it's hard to...

It was done on a tripod, so the camera stayed level throughout. I have shot some footage showing cars on the road which may prove to be more useful in terms of a real world test, I've asked Chris if...

Why would somebody shoot at 50p and then reduce it to 25? I guess for slow motion but surely at normal speeds it wouldn't make any difference. I know the frames would only be exposed for half as much...

It reminds of the effect you get when you put a pen between your fingers and wobble it from side to side making the pen look like it's bending.

Here's a couple of grabs. As I said though, this may...

I wouldn't say it's terrible. I'm used to a Canon XH-A1 which has a squarish grip with parts at the top that allow you to grip it with the tips of your fingers, this feels quite boxy to hold but it...

When using shutter speed at 50 and shooting in 720/25p I can confirm the the rolling shutter effect is quite apparent if you go out of your way to make it happen. I pointed the EX at a fence panel...
