Here is a couple of short samples..
These are both rendered in full res.."740x480".
They are not compressed down to broadband res.
That way you can get a better idea of what the
camera actually does as far as the output.
These were churned out as Mpeg 2 "medium"
quality in the editing software, which does
come with the machine.
There are some quirks to digital video, but I
imagine most all have the same quirks unless you
spend a lot of $$$.
IE: sometimes you will notice the focus shift a
bit when you pan the cam around. Once you stop,
it will get a bit sharper. I guess due to the
electronic focusing, etc..
Also, they are not as good at night as the old
tape machines that could run a pretty low lux
rating.
But overall they are ok for the price.
The JVC used for these was under $250 when we
got it on sale. It has a 20 MB drive.
So being yours will be a slightly newer model
than this one and costs a bit more, it might be
slightly better. At the worst, it would be about
the same.
These files are fairly big, and you will need
broadband unless you have lots of time to wait.
One is about 53 MB, and the other about 70 MB
nearly.
I put on two that look a lot different so you
can see how they respond to color, which is
pretty danged good.
One in the spring when it's green..

And one in the fall when things start turning
orange..

Both were up in Oklahoma at my get-away place..
BTW, the very first of the second flick has some
music playing on the CD rig.. It copies sound
pretty decent, and can hear a mouse fart at
40 paces it seems. At one point, I could hear
my stomach growl when I was in the woods.
It actually picked it up.. Guess was about
lunch time..
