Setting: 50i at FH quality which is 17 Mbps(Highest quality will be FX which is 24Mbps.), Everything set to auto though not using iAuto Mode. Audio set to Normal which I believe is an Auto Level mode that automatically set the sound at a fixed level (slightest sound will be amplified as well). I used the 5.1 surround sound mode which uses the 5 built-in microphones. Wind cancellation I am not sure if I had it turned  on. And finally, Active stabilization was On, which  is good for walk & shoot video.

File size: 2.43 GB

I am very impressed  with the low light performance & the stabilization of the camera ( I walked in a more measured step & slightly slower than normal pace in order to get more fluid & smooth video). Uploading to Youtube will degrade the video quality quite a bit; You can see digital artifacts created,  & more pronounced noises which did not exist in the original video.
