That ebay auction looks pretty sketchy.  My GS320 came on friday and I ordered it from www.bhphotovideo.com. 

I haven't filmed much of anything yet but when I capture the footy onto the computer it looks reaaaaally blurry.  Can anyone help?  I'm not trying to jack the thread.

what program are you using on your comp?  WMM is an awful program because as you capture it compresses it, and when you save the movie it compresses it again, whereas adobe programs do not.  I've seen wonderful color and quality come out of one chip cameras with adobe

The GS320 is a 3 chip.  I tried the Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 trial and it came out shitty.  Then I captured onto my computer and exported from WMM and it looked better: http://www.blip.tv/file/569457

Yes I know mov (quicktime) is better but whatever.

Hey man I got the GS320 and the quality isn't close to that video.  Can you PM me your compression settings (I know you use the GS500).
