A 20 sec. video looks great on playback in the camera. When I transfer the video to my computer the video on playback looks horrible.

Will installing the DiMAGE Viewer make the video just as good on the computer as it does on playback in the camera?

Depends what you mean by it looks horrible , but I think Patco sums up what the issue might be .

The world's gone mad for big screens , if you want a video to look good on one , you need a camera with the same output resolution as the screen .

Twenty years ago this was adequate for most PC screens , and the average size TV's that people had .

What we have today and our expectations from it are much greater .

The A1 will give good photos for web viewing , but you'll need something more up to date for video work .
