At some point, I plan to submit clips to Pond5. Their requirements are listed below. If I record in AVCHD, as they prefer, what record Quality from the FZ2500 would have the most appeal to end User's. There's only 4 options in the camera (three if you consider that Pond5 doesn't like interlaced footage); 28m/60p, 17m/60i, 24m/30p, 24m/24p? There's not even a 4K option when recording in AVCHD, which is disappointing.
Also, what is non-native MP4, which Pond5 doesn't accept.
Any other thoughts, comments, recommendations are welcome. Thanks
