Using my recently purchased Panasonic DMC-TZ5 I filmed two clips in 1280x720x30. They aren't great quality since I was doing it handheld with moving subjects. The biggest problem is the camera keeps trying to adjust focus. I took the original clips which were motion JPEG and re-compressed with Apple Quicktime using H.264 at various bit rates. Feel free to download and check them out and tell me what you think of them and how fast they downloaded. The first is the dancing fountains in Las Vegas. The second is an animation demonstration at Disney using strobe and spinning items.
