Did you edit the video to make the quality better? also check my powershot test and comment the video if it has good quality because to me its kinda good. also if i may ask.. what happen to your arm?

@1GiveSubs1

That's a birth mark on my arm. As for the video, I did not edit it. I uploaded the original clip straight to Youtube. I looked at your test videos and they appear okay for what you were doing. My test video was shot in static light conditions and with the camera sitting solid on a level surface. If you move the camera around, it does NOT refocus and it does not refocus if you zoom. But it's still a great point and shoot for the money.

you look like you fixing the cam not testing it : )

this camera produces .mov files which youtube cant upload right? so did yu have to do some converting? &if so to what type of file?

[123douglasGO]

Yes, it does produce .mov files and you CAN upload those directly to Youtube. That's what I did with this one. I use a Mac and so .mov files are "native" and run smoothly through Quicktime. If you use a PC, you have to do some "codec" stuff, which I know nothing about, but I have heard isn't that difficult. Hope that helps.

Hi I just got this camera and I can't upload to youtube. It's taking forever. Please help!

[123douglasGO]

It depends on several factors.....your connection speed and the file size being the most important. If you're trying to upload anything more than 100mb or even 50mb, it's likely going to take 30 minutes to an hour to upload to Youtube. If you're not worried about uploading the movie in the original high def size, then you might want to downsize the file to something under 150mb. This specific 23-second movie is 65mb in size. That's huge for such a short clip.

[EbbyRo]

Thank you I finally got it:) The files were so big I had to compress them, now it's going so much faster from 4 hours to 9 min. Thank for resonding so quickly. You are the sweetest!

I just bought the same camera and I've got the same problem. which program did you use to compress the videos? and to what kind of format do you convert them to because mine are .mov and i can only watch them with quickplayer

[UrbanGt]

Great quality video, I just ordered this yesterday, Tuesday, from Amazon as well, I should hopefully be getting it next week Monday. I'd say my primary use will be for photos, but it's still great to have an HD camera.

[123douglasGO]

I've been very impressed with the camera's ability to take good pics in low light settings. I'm big into taking natural light pics and the camera has impressed me. The camera is crazy small as well. Very happy with mine.

[UrbanGt]

Thank you for the info, It's good to know that I'll be satisfied with the quality, this will be my first digital camera and it looks like a terrific first buy, especially after watching your footage and the other videos on youtube, I can't wait to get this thing in my hands.
