[leafsplayer]

@baconbits12321 Just hook it up to your mac, Im pretty sure Iphoto will recognize it and give you a choice of where to save the files, dont worry about not being able to use the included software that sony gives you, its shitty

[giaxlover]

@baconbits12321 you can upload it on both :)

[Je11yb3aner]

this looks awesome but can u add different lenses to it like a fisheye??

[etniessk8rboy]

How Do you make it optional for a video to have 720p or 1080 p?

[TheFoodly]

By uploading in 1080p it automatically has the option.

[iminpa47days]

soo clear

[xCYBERKIDx]

I'm soo jealous!!

this is the camera i wanted for christmas, but instead i got a kodak zi8.

awesome quality, does it work well in low light?

[zeroXshinobi]

what format was the video when u uploaded? was it mpeg or mov?

[TheFoodly]

If I recall correctly, It was .mts2

I haven't used the cam in a while, and honestly have no idea where it is, so I can't check. Sorry.

I'm sure you can find it online somewhere.

[zeroXshinobi]

@TheFoodly its cool u gave me all the info i needed since youtube accepts that format

i was hoping i didnt have to convert to xfer to youtube lol

[TheFoodly]

hah, nope no converting, this video was straight from my memory card.

[freakystylntime]

i like your house. its really pretty.

[TheFoodly]

@freakystylntime

you can't see me house ;)

but you can see the land, which is what you mean, i guess.

thanks!

hah.

it's not really that great though. :P

[jollydwarf]

wow this video on 1080p ated up all my bandwidth yikes. teh internets is a crazy time, yes or no?

[brandonlamarmusic]

umm...this wasnt 1080p, cam only shoots up to 1080i. read booklet.

[TheFoodly]

don't be a dick.

it doesn't specify.

it simply says "1920x1080 resolution" which could be 1080i or 1080p.

And when its on YouTube, who cares? There's no difference.

[brandonlamarmusic]

u stupidass dumbfuck! (click home, output settings, HD resolution.) "1080i!

[brandonlamarmusic]

do exactly as i said on ur camera and u'll see for urseld dumbfuck! says 1080i!

[TheFoodly]

once again, don't be a dick.

this is the internet.

I'm saying ON YOUTUBE, there is ABSOLUTELY no difference in 1080p and 1080i.

Progressive, and interlaced look the SAME on YouTube, and even on an HDTV there is no noticeable different, except SOMETIMES when watching sports. Calm down.

[KateOfTheArt]

Is this a super small camera, or does it fit pretty comfortably in your hands? I really don't want a camera that is super small. Also, does it take a long time to upload videos?

[TheFoodly]

I don't really know how to describe it. It's not "super" small, but its not huge either. I would say its about the same size as my hand, so its perfect for me.

Upload time depends on how long the video is that you record, and what quality setting out have it set to.

If I remember correctly, this video was on the highest quality setting. It upload relatively quickly, only taking a minute or two, but it took a while for it to process to HD.

[LouisianaPyro93]

I dont get it..its 4 megapixles but the quality is great...looks like a great camera..ima gt it for christmas...should i get it,,,,i film fireworks and hunting so i want a good clear cam that pics up sound good.

[KateOfTheArt]

Thank you so much!! I wound up getting it!! I absolutly LOVE it, and I owe it all to you! :)

[TheFoodly]

Mhmm! No problem! I'm sure you'll love it even more once you get used to it, and get the settings to exactly how you want it!

[KateOfTheArt]

Yea. :)

[kaleidoscopeTV]

does this camera require the use of tape and usb cable? or does it record video on a memory stick?

[TheFoodly]

mem stick

[kaleidoscopeTV]

great,  thanks

will consider purchasing this camera.

[GALB722]

Question...can you upload (to megaupload or something) the original MTS file ???

[TheFoodly]

Are asking is it possible, or are you asking me specifically to upload this file?

If the first question, then yeah you can.

If the second question, I'm sorry, but I have since had to reformat my computer, and no longer have the original file.

[paraguayanboi]

holy shit. watching this in 1080p is just insane.

[sterler1]

how do you opload 1080p videos to youtube ?

[RadioRock97]

wow. youtube has changed this video to full HD. like 1080p congratulations man, none of my 80 or so videos are 1080p yet. nice video. what is that noise in the background. was there a plane crash?

[TheFoodly]

It's actually downscaled.

The original was 1080p, but YouTube's maximum is 720p (this vid is 720p)

And nope, no plane crash.

The was the sound of tractor trailer going down the highway, and at the end, it was wind going into the cam's mic.

[Znqt]

I am a little bit confused. How did you upload this in 1080p? i thought the cx-100 only shot in 1080i? great quality though, although when it gives the 1080p option it stutters a little bit, however the 720 lookes great! let me know please.

[TheFoodly]

You know what, I'll be honest, I'm not sure it was 1080p or 1080i...

I just assumed it was 1080p.

Specs for camera don't specify, it just says 1920x1080 (which could be 1080p or 1080i)

[JulianProductionz]

Now you have an option to select the size of the HD vid.

[TheFoodly]

Ohh you do? Cool. Thanks for the info.

[RaymondCroxen]

I got this camera today, i must say that i am alot more amazed than i thought i would be, i love the internal 8 GB

[DrOpHaTeRs]

can this camera record up to 60 fps?

[HavokProductions1]

this is what the manual says

Smooth Slow Record:

Increases the record rate from 60 fps to 240 fps to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and play back the video in 12 seconds.

[Hyminym]

yeah it can and for smooth slow motion it goes up to 180fps

[DrOpHaTeRs]

would it still be in HD?

[FloSK8Team]

how much video can you put on this camera cause i know it's only 8gb of storage. it says 3 hours on some sites is that true?

[TheFoodly]

It depends on what setting you have it on.

There are 4 settings.

on the highest setting its about 60 minutes, the next down is about 120 minutes, the next is about 150 minutes, the lowest setting is about 200 minutes.

All per 8gb. You have 8gb internal, and they make up to 16gb cards now I believe.

All of the settings are high quality, and there is little to no pixelation, so using it on the lowest setting is still very good picture.

[TheFoodly]

Halbo ingles, no espanol.

[TheFoodly]

What?

[wesk8DGK]

how is it when capturing fast moving objects?

[arthurcaraccio]

wow it looks nice! i'm getting this camera over the summer for a really big project i am planning to do. Thank you for showing me that i am not wrong with my choice of this camera!

[TheFoodly]

Yeah, it looks great.

And to be honest, this was one the third setting.

There are 4 settings, the first one is best quality, last one least.

I didn't realize that.

I had another video up, but apparently there was a copyright issue with a song playing in the background...

[Zxander34]

how is this in low lighting conditions?

[TheFoodly]

I have another video up (Boredom) which is was in indoor lighting. Not really low lighting, but not natural light.
