A nice video here that shows you just what the fly by wire system is capable of:

Skip the first 5 minutes of the video unless your totally unfamiliar with flight instrumentation! Might take a while to buffer/stream as it''s hosted in New Zealand.
This video is low quality but it shows you how Airbus fly-by-wire really works. There''s versions of it on YouTube but they cut the best 4 minutes out; the bit from 09:30 on is the bit missing in YouTube, on the edge of stalling he holds full back stick and rolls the thing left and right, it''s amazing!
