I use the MX-1 video. It's very good.
No manual control, but once you take contrast and sharpness right off in the picture style, the results are pretty darn good.
I also disable AF during video and don't use zoom as the lens motor is picked up.
So I preset focal length, focus then shoot. Oh yes, I also disable Movie SR.
Here's a couple of examples, mostly hand held - so a little shaky

Why do you need PNG's on a Forum like this? They are larger file sizes than Jpegs and I don't understand what benefit allowing PNG uploads would bring.Here's how I have my MX-1 setup for movies:

I am looking at a K-01 now, that way I can use my DA 35mm f2.4.

Ah that's a shame, the video from the K-01 is not so good, though you do have more manual control.
