Mike The VR feature is pretty cool. The rotation was fluid. I found a refrence to the software smoothing out the pan. But could not find the online help for Motion Director. <http://www.sanyo-xacti.com/support/manuals/CA6_Software_GB.pdf>
How long did it take to convert? How much "hands on" does the software require of the edit? By that I mean are you babysitting frame by frame to adjust for lags or bumps in the pan? Was that as wide as your xacti can zoom out? The xacti is impressing me, especially the price ... http://www.6ave.com/product.jsp?zipz=11001&x=VPCC40&w=1 The audio on your xacti sounds pretty darn good (ignoring the wind noise), have you used the audio jack (for a external mic) and if so did you have problems like Halcyon has had with the plug needing to be fiddled with? What I am thinking about here is experimenting with two xacti's side by side. Not sure (e)xact(i)ly how I could do this but I am thinking 3d. Make a short bar with the bottom of the bar attaching to the tripod and the top with two mountings for two xacties. There is a lot more to pulling this off (sync, software) but my first thought is this is kinda like any other mashup, just needs imagination.
