Yes. Just after I had shot the test footage about
a year and a half ago for the camcorder reviews
(www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder-comparison.htm),
I offered a CD with a few seconds of footage from
each camera (using Raptor DV-codec, downloadable for
playing) in original DV quality so people could
see for themselves the comparison footage, and hear
the sound tracks - but, no takers... Short of that,
carefully jpg'd full-res frame grabs + descriptions
of the motion-video and sound characteristics is
about all one can do on the 'net just yet...
