[...] My buddy Paul flicked me through this link, for 2 reasons …. firstly because it has some cool images of Tokyo but mainly because it shows what CAN be done with a small HD Video Camera. [...]

I use HDMI no probs. You may have to scale back the resolution to get it to play though. Usng Full HD you need to do some other stuff to get it to work, pain i know.

Hi,

I just bought the same cam as you guys and i can’t seem to to do a direct playback on my tv???

I tried hdmi, av and usb wired directly to my tv but it just won’t play? I tried NTSC and PAL but it doesn’t work…

Would truly appreciate some advice here.

Thanks in advance!

Just bought the 1010 and love it. wanted to know which setting you have had the best success with for fast moving video like a golf swing? I really enjoy the camera function from the video.
Thanks.

Hey Jason, the card i bought from Yodobashi in Shinjuku … this bad boy here which is class 6, whatever that means. http://www.yodobashi.com/enjoy/more/productslist/86814563.html

At the moment i’m not using anything for editing, i may have to buy a mac and change that soon though, i’ve had a look over the last week or so and i think i’ll go down that road soon.

Settings? I used the ‘fireworks’ setting (appropriately i guess) and set it too shoot at 1280 x 720 and 60 fps. I find the full blown 1920 x 1080 doesn’t replay that well for me at the moment.

Hope that helps and i will look for your stuff on Vimeo …. feel free to post the link here.

Neil, where did you buy our 32gb card? In Akihabara or a big box store like Bic? Is it a class 6 card? One of the only things I think Akihabara is cheaper for are things like memory cards.

I bought the Xacti HD700 in February, imported from the U.S. because I wanted English menus (ludicrously ones sold in Japan have only Japanese), and right away got an 8gb Transcend Class 6 SDHC in a small shop I know on the backstreets of Aki for ¥6,000.

I joined Vimeo immediately as well. It’s great, save for the extremely slow upload speeds. I like that people can download the exact same file I uploaded directly from Vimeo to view the video at max quality.

What app are you using to edit the raw footage? I am just using iMovie HD (‘06) as it requires no conversion of the raw footage.

What settings did you use for the hanabi footage? (if you remember) I took two hanabi videos this summer and yours seem to be a good bit sharper, which may just be the better optics of the 1010.
