Video quality

I was actually a bit disappointed in the SR5's video quality. Though relatively sharp, the automatic white balance in many situations looked far too cool, and the video tended to be more washed out with significantly more blown-out highlights than I typically see in this class of camcorder. (Video frame grab. New York Times reporter interviewing protester and dog at feral cats vs. Port Authority of NJ/NJ demonstration.)
