Made my first short with my new PD-150!
I threw this together in FCE in about an hour, and this is the way compressed version. (still incredible quality using the H.264 codec). I know my camera and editing skills are nowhere near on par with most of you on here, but I tried my best. I'm sure a few of you are probably into cars too, so this may interest you. It's a short of my friend's Acura Integra.

The Sony is good in low light but you might try this in the day time.

Some really nice footage there, Rob! The camera indeed can do wonderful video if properly handled. Another important factor is of course the way the video is published. The Quicktime codecs have an impressive sharpness and because you compressed it down into a small resolution as well, it looks very good.
Did you use the built-in 15 FPS progressive? |

Rob this is great shooting!
First, there's a lot of life yet in standard def. Second, this could be an intro to a daring approach to the typical car lot commercial. Cut it down to 5-7 seconds and it could work as a commercial intro. People who buy used cars do want to feel "cool." Showing off key elements of a car at night certainly imparts that. The rest of the spot would probably be daylight to show off the lot, selection, car body but this could be a great hook and a very different look. Was this all available light including the engine shots? |

The H.264 codec is awesome, but the bad thing with it is the slow processing speed. I think it's even much slower than WMV.
