I used the menu driven DYNAMIC stabilizer of the camera to see the improvement of walking with the camera.

FOLLOW-UP:
This was a test of the internal menu DYNAMIC stabiliser. That's as good as it will get. Better than the HF S10 which is almost impossible to keep from shaking due to the lightness. However, it appears to me after the test that the stabilizer is only good for static shots when the camera person is NOT moving. Much better than the static shots from my prior HF S10.
The lens had barrell distortion as I mixed a FISHEYE with the CANON wideangle lens. The CANON HD wideangle is totally necessary as the field of view is rather narrow with the enclosed lens.
Yes...I tried a monopod configuration both vertical and horizontal.
By no means is this a steady cam menu driven stabilizer.

Lou,
I see a lot of blur artifacts on the edges of a lot of the video off and on and in the direct middle of the screen on the late bridge scene.
Is that caused by the electronic stabilizer or is that just internet compression caused artifacts?

Can't figure it out because it even transferred to another HD tape that way. I am going to assume it is a combo of the stabilizer and at times twixtor plus compression to YOU TUBE?
