The most important feature of my camera is that it shoots in progressive video format. Almost every other camera out there shoots in interlaced format. Which means that each frame of the video is actually made up of 2 separate pictures, taken one after the other and then transposed on top of each other, resulting in a blurry picture. This was a limitation of old time TV that has stuck around as a standard. But for high motion activities like dog agility, it is bad. I will upload pictures demonstrating this sometime.
