I've just started playing around with the video and I'm totally impressed with the quality. Of course, after seeing all the examples posted on here, I knew about the quality. I'm still trying to figure out how to watch these videos though. I can do it on the computer and I posted some on YouTube which is really awesome but I want to be able to do it on my TV without hooking up the camera to it. I'll get there with some more tinkering I'm sure.

Now that they're going to enhance the video capabilities with a firmware update, I'm really stoked!

Connect your computer's VGA output to your HD tv, problem solved? for the time being :P, or did i get that completely wrong.

Wow, awesome news. Not that I use the video option too often but will definitely be more inclined to now especially with these controls. I'm sure there will be lots of new video samples coming out in the near future........Hope nobody bought 100's of filters like Vincent Laforet

Good news, thank you Canon for listening!
