How good is the movie quality of the Lumix FX01 and how much space do clips take?

I am taking a trip to Europe this summer and my last trip there I really wanted to have a decent video capturing device with sound to save some memory-jogging clips. I originally wanted to bring a camcorder but decided that is too expensive, especially since having a good camera is of primary importance.

I am wondering about the specifics of the camera's movie mode.
1. What quality are the clips recorded at?
2. What quality is the sound recorded at?
3. Is there a maximum time limit of 15 seconds or something silly?
4. What type of file do the clips come out in (can I easily post my videos to youtube to share them with family while I'm away)?
5. How much storage space would say, 5 minutes of video take on this camera?


I'm not looking for this to replace a camcorder, but I would like some video functionality.

Hi Matt,
I'm going to send you here:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfx01/page7.asp

That link is a very detailed review of this camera's movie mode, along with some sample movies you can watch to get an idea of the quality. It also lists the specifications in terms of quality, etc. It looks like there is no limit on duration (except mem card capacity). Since I haven't used this camera, I think that link will help you out much more than I can!
