Here is the product manual, reviews, video review, video review, video technical review, and more videos.
One dpreview.com review loved the camera, but thought the operational speed was very sluggish.
It supports full HD video recording with video quality settings from 720p all the way up to 1080p60.
If you do record HD video in the highest setting, note that it must be downsampled before burning to Blu-Ray because Blu-Ray players do 1080p24, 1080i50, and 1080i60.
Overall, this is probably one of the best point-and-shoot cameras on the market today (in our opinion), with a huge feature list (3D photos, background defocus, face detection, etc), great lens, and automatic photo detection modes which works very well.
We have one, and love it.
