Well, I officially love my camera! Thanks again everybody who helped steer me towards purchasing it. The audio & bass is fantastic by compact camera standards, I'd say, all for ~$200 and no external mic.
The only thing I think I'm going to try tweaking settings for is lighting -- Ruby Skye is dark, yes, but once the videos post on Youtube, they're actually a bit darker than the raw .MOV files from the camera. For example, you can't see the lyrics in the "Away" video on the screen behind Markus on Youtube, but you can in the file I uploaded.
Be sure to change them to 720 HD!

Panasonic Lumix ZR3. I'm really, really impressed so far. Audio quality & bass retention (and compact size) were the main requirements and it has definitely surpassed expectations!

Oh, thanks! Yeah, I don't think we were supposed to be there, but my friend wrote on his phone asking Markus if he could come up to get a picture with his bracelet and he nodded.
(long story about the bracelet :P)
I think I took a few pictures of you with Markus behind you in the off chance that I ran into you after the club, if you'd like them. I don't think you were posing for them, but some came out okay. I'll check when I get home. It was the first time testing my new camera so I was taking pictures of everything.

If I saw that arm near Markus I dunno how I would've reacted. Would've been looking for some scissors for that wristband maybe.
If someone wants to get something cheap for video, get a Flip video recorder.

I know, it's a pretty ridiculous arm band. He promised a girl back home in Florida (who LOOOVES Markus) that he would do his best to get some good shots of Markus with the arm band in the photos. I think that picture will make her very happy.
At least it was an 18+ event so it didn't look -completely- out of place with some of the candy ravers there.

18+ or not, have to be professional when roaming right around the DJ or those privileges can be lost real fast.
That's not bad that bad in the end. Just giving you a hard time. I've seen much worse (like people with lights on the end of their fingers hovering around the booth with them waving their fingers right at the DJ...ugh).
