My original Sanyo Video was 720p 60fps MP4/AAC. I ran that through PowerDirector 7 to utilize the Steady filter to reduce shake in the video, rendering to 720p 29.97fps HDV MPEG. I imported that into Vegas 9.0 to sync the external audio, fade the beginning/end, and explorted again to 720p 29.97 HDV M2T. I then uploaded that file to YouTube. In using the Steady filter, you loose some of your sharpness and border as that filter cuts the sides and expands the picture so it can reduce the shakeness. The more filter you use, the more it crops on the sides and you loose sharpness. The Sanyo camera has the advantage of being small and portable, but disadvantage of being light weight and routinely has a lot of shake when handheld. I don't use the built in camera filter to reduce shake as sometimes I get tearing at the bottom of the picture or some other unwanted side effets. I have looked at upgrading to the next model up, still a couple years old at this point, but haven't felt the need since I shoot very little and I can get by with this camera. My only real issue is battery life, but fortunately it takes 5v in and can be run on external battery packs so if I am running open, I have plenty of battery options.
