All, Had used the Sanyo to record 40 minute halfs of my kids soccer games. The Sanyo I realize is a pocket cam and may not be deigned for this type of continuous recording. The audio stopped working and exchanged it for a standard def JVC. The JVC being a actual camcorder had better zoom and feel when recording. I was taken back when playing back the video on how much better the Sanyo was over the 100.00 more JVC. Since the Sanyo is MPEG-4 and the JVC is -2 is this the reason? Is this due to tying to stretch the picture on to a HD television similar to watching an SD broadcast on an HD television? I belive most of you would suggest going to a JVC or Canon True HD camcorder?

Thanks,
