Just my second day with the xha1, seems like my footage should be a bit sharper:

I exported H.264, 5000mbps, 1280x720.

how sharp is it when you export the file full quality?

I think the real problem was just quick zooming... h.264 doesn't seem like dealing with quick zooms or pans. The raw h.264 file is sharper and smoother, so I think the artifacts can be chalked up to vimeo's flash compression.

also i think whether or not you were shooting in 24f or 60i has an effect too. what were you shooting in?

Just looking at the trees in the background alone seem to tell me you may not have had ND2 kicked in found your exposure sweet spot (f5.6 to fully open) to get rid of any possible diffraction.
