Not only will the vid quality be crap if there isn't ample light getting to the CCD, but I highly doubt that the 60Hz frame rate is available at 1080x1920 resolution. Note that nowhere is this specifically stated. They say 1080x1920 resolution and a variable frame rate up to 60Hz. I have yet to see a camera that doesn't require a drop in resolution as you increase the frame rate. I wouldn't be surprised if 1080p is at 24Hz only, and the resolution drops from there. 1080p/60 is really hard to do. If they did it in a camera that small, then congrats. I'll believe it when I see it (or rather when someone in the industry sees it and reports on it... Engadget, you listening? Check on those frame rates & resolutions for us, hmmm? thanks.)
Link below to the mfr's spec sheet. The engadget article apparently only worked from the article he shows the link for. If you read carefully they say 1920x1080 and they say variable frame rate up to 60P but never at the same time. 1920x1080 tops out at 30F and 60P tops out at 1280x720. www.iis.fraunhofer.de/fhg/Images/microhd_info_2006_2_tcm97-72196.pdf
