I beleive that youtube HD video is maxed out at 30fps.

Maybe someone else can verify?

Also, I do not shoot alot of video. How would this work in comparison to a $700 HD Video camcorder? I will assume that the video looks better on the more expensive camcorder and would have more options. I am looking for an HD camcorder for taking the occasional video on vacations and such.

Would the more expensive HD Camcorder be worth it compared to one of these?

I liked it compared to the alternatives for a lot of reasons: 60fps, HD out via component, upgradable SD RAM, and still capability.

The camera captures MP4 format with a .MOV container and my vids capture around 10-12Mbps.

Kevin, one question I have for you is on fps. Are you using the 720/30 fps or the 720/60 fps? I notice a big difference between 60 and 30 when watching local video off the notebook, but dont see a difference off of YouTube.

Amazon wants to charge me $159 for it! :-(

It definitely works better in bright light settings and when mounted on a tripod.

Our first video using this was the best quality IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QBtia8LnDo&eurl=http://jkontherun.com/&fmt=22

I’m looking forward to seeing the output from James’s overview of the 2140.
