However, resolution alone does not tell anything about the PQ... What size CMOS sensor is this device using?

Furthremore, what type of file is being recorded? Does this device record "Fake HD" AVCHD MEGP-4 AVC files at only 13 Mbps to 17 Mbps bit rate, like the one used in Cannon HD camcorders, or the "True HD" MEGP-2 at 25 Mbps like the one used in JVC HD camcorders?

Without the above 2 specifications revealed, the PQ of this device is up to anyone's guess....]]>Apr 2nd 2009 6:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/02/sony-hdr-tg5-makes-worlds-smallest-full-hd-camcorder-lighter-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/02/sony-hdr-tg5-makes-worlds-smallest-full-hd-camcorder-lighter-a/Apr 23rd 2009 4:48AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/02/sony-hdr-tg5-makes-worlds-smallest-full-hd-camcorder-lighter-a/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/02/sony-hdr-tg5-makes-worlds-smallest-full-hd-camcorder-lighter-a/Image.
I also believe it is at only 30 fps.

On top of that it is AVCHD, which is not so great from what I hear
again and again.

The JVC Prosumer stuff is now at 35 Mbps, so they may have a lead in
quality at
a certain price.

Also I have many arguments that a good decent size CCD chip is still better then a
CMOS one. (Low light video noise)

It is funny Kodak makes the Zi6 ($129 at Target) that while having no
Optical Zoom and is made for internet video. Does indeed do 720
Progressive at '60 Frames per second.'

If you record 10 seconds worth of Sunlit video at 60 Progressive (full frames)
frames per second, you may re think purchasing a 1k consumer Sony,
that only does 30 and interlaced at that.

There is a difference to the look of a 60 fps video image !!

--I personally have had enough of Sony's consumer & Prosumer level Video products.---
