Video clip capability

I downloaded the sample video clip and found it is not as smooth as video clips captured by a camcorder, although it is very clear. Does anybody have more experiences on this issue?

What camera?

This capability varies widely by make/model. Some are not that great, others are fantistic.

Typical good recording.

The camera is lightweight so I noticed the usual bobble as the person moves around. Then they take a shot and the video pauses as it does when you do that.

In short, it's a great demo of the feature. A camcorder of the same weight would yeild the same results.

I'd like to see it to compare to other clips I have from other cameras.
