An outdoors view of downtown Palm Springs.

As grainy as it gets: shooting indoors. (Never mind the audio -- some SmugMug sync problem.)

In comparison, a clip shot with the Casio EX-F1, which also struggles with keeping focus while zooming but delivers cleaner video (less noise) thanks to its bigger sensor.

High-contrast scene resulting in overexposure, with some focus jitters thrown in for good measure.

The audio sync issues here are a SmugMug problem, but the sudden, unprompted focus changes are present in the original clip -- a recurring problem when shooting with the Xacti TH-1.

So much for "image stabilization" -- it's often less-than-obvious that the Xacti is supposed to have one.

A shy squirrel. The Xacti does a good job here keeping it in focus.

Writing on the wall: Watch the "Get Your Kicks" in the upper left of the billboard and you can see some momentary lapse of focus.

Outdoors video in bright sunlight. This was taken during a Palm Springs Aerial Tramway ride, looking down to the mountain.
