Here are some videos I took with the K-x last weekend at the Gaskell Ball, a victorian style dance held every two months in Oakland. The quality of video is proof that I am not Cotty. It shows how the video works in less than ideal conditions. The biggest problem seems to be the quality of the audio. They were mostly shot with my sigma 20/1.8 with the focus set somewhere beyond 5 feet and I just relied on depth of field to get something recognizable.
The dance "Congress of Vienna" was actually choreographed in the 1970s (IIRC) by John Hertz, and is meant to be in the style of dancing of the English Regency, which would be rather retro for the Victorian time period portrayed at Gaskells.
