Just got myself one of these, after reading quite a few generally good reviews... my first camcorder...

I am puzzled as to the widescreen capabilities of the cam.. I have set it to 16:9 an dshot some video, but the resulting vide does not come out as a widescreen format...

Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 384Kbps [AC-3]
Video: MPEG2 Video 720x576 (4:3) 25.00fps 9200Kbps [Video]

According to the onscreen display, its set to 16:9, yet during playback, the image actually looks squashed on the pc (widescreen monitor), and the media infor clearly states 4:3...
