Notice how the fence is sharp. The trees are a little blurry, because that is what video compression does. When you actually watch the video (which is how it's supposed to work) you don't notice the blurry-ness because your brain fills in the details across the frames. Video compression is based on your brain doing this. Take a Hollywood Bluray. Watch the video. See how it looks really good. Now pause on a frame. See how it looks much worse than you would expect. And how a picture should look much better. That's the difference between JPEG picture and MPEG movie compression. If that is what you are seeing, it is normal. Sony A6000 | 18-55 | 16-50 | 50 f1.8

Worth the extra dough if you can make it happen. Then save up for a good L lens! | Fredo | 5DMKIII | 24-105 L |17-40 L | Nikkor 50mm | Billingham Hadley Pro |
