Yeah, I'm not sure if that was from YouTube compressing the file or just the crappy camera that I had at the time. I did that video like 3 years ago =) Thanks for commenting!
I don't know your budget, but I would give the canon xl a try, assuming you're like most and have adapted into using digital, final cut/avid, et cetera... But if not, then more power to you. 16 mm rocks. Nothing quite like it.
