WOW! Are you watching the footage through the RCA connectors
connected to a 1953 13" B&W TV??? ;-) Do you really like
color-bleed and low resolution? ;-) Have you locked the
VX1000 AF down, focused about 1', while shooting
landscapes? ;-) But, seriously, if you compare them in
lowish light (as in a dim house interior) using the RCA
output of the VX1000 instead of the "S" output, you should
still see a better picture with the VX1000 (assuming your
TV is sharp enough to show the differences - many aren't),
but the differences will be more subtle than with shooting
the "toughy" for video: distant land/city-scapes (these
will "clearly" show the differences...;-).
