Unfortunately I use a PC, which probably explains why I don't get the same quality as those editing an Apple codec in Apple software on the Apple platform. I also can't justify spending thousands on software; there's more expensive and presumably better software than the packages I use.
Which software do you use ? I use PowerDirector 16 which is often on sale for well under $100 from Cyberlink. My last upgrade was only $40.
I have upgraded almost every year since PowerDirector 6. Only skipped 7 and 15.
Your video does look very soft. I wonder how much is due to your software, and how much to Vimeo compressing it after upload.
I think I would get better results from my K-30 if on a tripod. However, when handheld, all bets are off - its rolling shutter hell, even with the movie SR disabled.
