Pic 2- Turn off the auto flash.
I like this pic. The foilage really sets of the chili red.
Try a shot with the windows up to see if it makes a difference.
Using your image editing software, try and up the contrast a bit. Sometimes that'll bring out the colors.
Check your manual about using manual operations. Oftentimes manually overriding your exposure program will deliver better results. I myself am fond of underexposing a bit just to make colors more vivid. This sacrifices detail however. All depends on your taste.
What he's referring to is that if you shoot video in the DV format, you get compressed footage that's optimized for displaying on TV, but not for the web. At 3.5MB/sec or 25Mbit/sec, every hour of video will consume about 12GB.
So in order to make it viewable on the net, you need to resize the image- often 1/4 of the size to reduce by 1/4, and change to a web friendly codec. On the PC, this is either Windows Media or Quicktime. For the Mac, it's pretty much Quicktime, although MPEG is ok for both platforms since the Quicktime player will playback MPEG files as well.
When converting your video aka transcoding to these codecs, you are losing data to save space. It becomes a balance of how much quality you can tolerate to lose in order to make it downloadable. In general a 500kb/sec datarate is ok for DSL/Cable users and the quality will look pretty good at 1/4 resolution.
Just remember as DiD pointed out, you only have 6MB of space allocated, so if you're using 500kb/sec (then in 2 seconds, you will have consumed 1 MB)--so at most you can store 10 seconds of video at that rate.

The easy, cheap, no cost way is to reshoot it correctly!!!!
Otherwise use a video editing app to rotate the footage. I use Sony's Vegas video editing software, but Adobe Premiere can do this as well. If you have access to an effects compositing app like Adobe After Effects, this is also easily done.
Any way you choose though will be a compromise. You will lose quality, will take time to render, and in the end, may prove to have been much simpler to simply reshoot it.
