Well, the video didn't look much better than VGA (upconverted to 1080i through my receiver) and the sound was unusable.

"I really am sold on this new Panasonic FZ28. It has several things I want for scenic photography that my FZ50 lacks. Foremost is the wide angle - but bumping the zoom to 18X also is great - making for an incredible range covering a focal length of 27-486mm.
