Panasonic Lumix GH1 in 720p avchd mode with 14-140 lens and +1 / +2 dioptre supplements. Also via 4/3 adaptor Nikon f1.8 50mm prime lens at f16 and Sigma 50mm and 105mm macro lenses at f16. Using just the +1 or +2 dioptre and not racking the zoom on the main lens beyong 1/2 the maximum the results from the £10 lenses are indistinguisable from the £100 plus macro lenses are are a valuable addition to your camera bag to get those nice closeups of flowers etc. Edited with the windows 7 version of Live Movie Maker as a trial (1280x720 HD format)
