NEW Canon PowerShot SX20 IS Digital Camera Unboxing

[TaySwiftRocksMySox]

I have a question: after recording a video, it seems there is no audio in the video playback and you can only hear the audio once the file is uploaded onto the computer. I don't know how to turn the playback audio on, can you please help me? Thanks!

[chillay18]

[smileforthescope1]

Thanks!

[scootylabone]

[saffec4]

*Thanks for watching See also, very good camera

Camera $100 to $200 camera-buy.labelsalestrade

[finley4545]

does it hv manual focus PLZ !

[imwantsit]

Whats the cloth thingie wrapping the camera?

[SaadiHina]

lol paradoxical how CANON supplies its customers with PANASONIC batteries, since they are head to head rivals lol

[CrazyTechTime]

What fps does it shoot in

[SaadiHina]

@CrazyTechTime

i believe 30 fps

[29annann]

does the battery work for enough hour?

[920306915003]

does it works on rechargeable batteries?

[SaadiHina]

@920306915003

yes it does.

[IIproductionsII]

the Nikon P100 has Full HD, CMOS sensor and is 10.3mp and is only $300-$500

[popopool]

Do you know when Canon will upgrade this camera? I really want a lenscap that attaches to the camera and a better strap

[TheTrollAmongUs]

@popopool They upgraded it around when you commented. The Canon SX30IS is much better than 20Is.

[MagicalDisaster28]

@TheTrollAmongUs I wouldn't recommend the SX30is because it has the 35x superzoom with the same sensor as this one (something like that) which I've read reviews that say it gives a poorer image quality. And believe me, I've donde A LOT of research in these 2 cameras (SX20is and SX30is) including Nikon models and I'm going for this one.

[TheMagma77]

point and shoot ???!

this is a super zoom camera not a point and shoot !!!!

nice unboxing by the way :D !!

[ebtowne]

Is this a manual focus??

[smalltownkid2004]

@ebtowne It has a setting on the dial to allow you to manually focus yes.

[z2o5om]

HDMi cable is availabl in the market for Rs. 400/-

[saphira512]

REALLY REALLY REALLY disapointed it doesn't have the canon battery

[arneduym]

are that rechargable batteries?

[JunMatsum0t0]

does sx20 have the same picture quality as sx10?? anyone?

[smalltownkid2004]

@JunMatsum0t0  I have had the SX10 and My grandmother bought the SX20 and I use it alot and It looks the same to me.

[4luvfishing]

@JunMatsum0t0

no, it has better quality. canon basically upgraded the sx10 to make the sx20.

[MrsLuckyClover]

i LOVE when i get a new camera :)

[estrixity]

i got this camera 2 days ago, i noticed that most of the photos i took are pretty soft though. do you know i can make them more crisper-looking ? (especially in macro) ?

[Maio0oia]

this cam rocks ...i wish i had it...i love the color

[BlastaRama]

this is an ok camera i have its next to me right now;The only thing i dont like about it is that you cant add lenses if you can change the lense with an adaptor can someone please tell me if you ca?

-thanks

[Run1t3]

Hey, i'm thinking of getting this camera for my birthday this wednesday, i'm going to be 15 but i really really enjoy photography. Would you, a purchaser, recommend buying it? Does it focus well? Is the macro good? Is the lighting good? A few tips would be much appreciated :) Good video by the way!

[lore133]

i wish it had a lithium battery! then i would be perfect!

[rachaelburrows]

i think I know what you mean when you say blurry backround as in the effect of the background being a little blurry and the main subject being clear . that can be done a few ways with macro or using your zoom or getting close to the subject. the idea is to get close to the subject no matter how you do it either by zoom or physically

[rachaelburrows]

I have this and I love it

[sfjohn5]

how is the night time pic will the camera make changes for ya like the fuji =)

[PurelySchlandt]

Yeah I guess I can see that AA batteries are useful because of their abundancy, but the problem is for some reason I never have any around.

[nio7007]

ChelseaFR35H, Could it be that your SD is not fast enough to capture HD video..? What type of SD are you using?

[nio7007]

@ChelseaFR35H: wat type of SD are you using? Could it be that your SD is not fast enough to capture HD..? Don't know.. just guessing.. Check it out.

[ChelseaFR35H]

Every time i try to record something it lets me record for like a few seconds then says busy and stops. ive recorded for longer before. idk what happened. i know there is room on the memory card. any suggestions?

[DerrickNivar]

can you put a fisheye on it???????????????

[CinnamonCanolli]

I sell cameras at my job. HDMI is only really necessary if you definitely intend to hook the camera up to an HD tv. Don't worry about that right away. There's ways around it. And AAs > rechargeables like Sony cameras. Rechargeables are a pain in the ass to find and expensive whereas AAs are everywhere. As far as sound; it's stereo recording so it won't get thrown into one speaker. The camera is a great buy. Next step... EOS

[majstoffe]

Does anyone know if it's the same microphones as on the S5 IS? Because they are really bad at high sound levels (conserts)

[MrPlaystationboy]

@majstoffe yea if you want the same zoom on a dslr the lens will have to be 1 meter long

[macky2green]

Thanks for sharing. I also plan to get this. I've used all Canon point-and-shoot digital cameras ever since, then jumped to Nikon D40 DSLR. But since I'm only a hobbyist photographer, and I love the long-range zoom, this is what I plan to get next. I'm so excited and I envy you very much. Hehe! =D Enjoy shooting!

[800764]

The huge zoom was also the reason I have ordered this camera. I currently have a 4mp 10x optical zoom that i've had for about 6 years so it was definitely time for an upgrade.

[800764]

The paper manual in the box is really only a 'getting started' guide and doesnt cover the more advanced features of this camera. The full manual is a pdf file on the disk that comes in the box so if you want the full manual which is 179 pages you'll have to print it out yourself or get a friend to do it if you dont have a computer and printer. There is no HDMI cable or memory card in the box when you buy it so these wlll be extra expenses you'll have to take into account.

[EnriqueVas00]

doesnt it bother any of u guys that u have to use 4 double A batteries for this camera???

[kkwst2]

I prefer the AA bats. I carry 2 extra rechargeable sets, which cost me less than $20, while two proprietary bats, like for instance on Panny's, would probably be at least $60. Also, in a pinch, I can just throw in some Alkalines.

[800764]

Not really a problem. You can get AA's almost anywhere on the planet! It also takes 300+ shots with these batteries at the highest settings so I really dont think its necessary to go out and buy a charger and rechargables.

[800764]

One other thing you should remember about this camera is that it DOESN'T come with any internal memory so an sd card will be essential.

[YEZwizz]

You really can to

[bcotroneo1]

thanks i cant wait to get this

[NatesGagaDad]

I never thought of watching an open the box video, but I'm glad I did. Now I know what to ask for as far as accessories like the HDMI cable and perhaps a DC power cord.

[CanonKielHD]

Unless you plan on connecting it directly to your TV, you wont need an HDMI cable.

I have the Canon VIXIA HG20 camcorder and the USB cord will transfer the HD directly to your computer with no problem.

Just thought I'd point that out, though you probably already know it.

[YEZwizz]

Hey Kie I'm new tot he whole entire camera thig but cany ou tell me how do you do you a hd video? If you can, can inbox me about it or reply to me on the video because I really do wanna start gttng into recroding and other stuff like that.

[CanonKielHD]

All you need is a camera that can record in HD. You can buy cheaper HD cameras that don't do much for around $200 or you can buy camcorders like I have for around $600.

Of course you're going to need a decently fast computer to be able to process everything, especially if you plan on doing any video editing.

I have the Canon VIXIA HG20, hard drive based HD camcorder, records in 720p-1080p. I got it for $600 around Christmas. I highly recommend it if you have the money. That or the HG21.

[YEZwizz]

Oh so exactly how do you record and process a HD video like what supplies do I need and stuff like that? And do I have to hook the camcorder or camera to the computer or what? What cables and wires do I need? This camera I just might get it depends.

[CanonKielHD]

The camcorder will always record in HD. Just depends at the MB you choose. If you choose anything other than 24MBps, it will be in 720p quality, if in 24MBps it will be 1080p. You have 5, 7, 12, 17 and 24MBps to choose from.

To transfer the video footage you use the USB cord that comes with the camcorder. The files are AVCHD, .MTS Format. You can use a program called Alive HD Video Converter to convert them to .WMV, .MPEG, etc.

This is all for my camcorder of course.

[YEZwizz]

Oh is this also required for the camera to?

[CanonKielHD]

Yes, in order for it to show up HD on YouTube, it must be 1280x720 or bigger. You can stretch a video size bigger in some video editing programs to make it HD, but the quality wont be.

[YEZwizz]

oh ok!!

[YEZwizz]

Oh so exactly what is a mini hdmi cable?

[CanonKielHD]

Not really sure, never have used one.

[portpower27]

Mini HDMI has a small tip on one end for the camera and standard size on the other end for you HDMI tv.

[YEZwizz]

Thank you!!!!!

[Ogelboy12345678]

nice, i get it soon, it's a cool camera

[nascardude5]

nice job on unboxing. hope to get myself one soon :)

[PinnacleTech]

great unboxing

[EveMalo]

what's bette this one or olympus evolt e410 ?

[TaylorLR]

Nice unboxing Tim. I'm thinking about getting a new camera. Debating digital or camcorder.

[djalibaster]

Отличная камера, хочу взять себе её в декабре)

[calcuttaCrimson]

is it possible to change the aperture (F number) or exposure compensaton while shooting videos?

I know, it can go from wideangle to telephoto and vice versa while shooting video.

[princessmaee]

does this camera have good quality ? like it focuses ? like the background is blury ? cos im looking for those kinds of cameras cos they're cool :D

[jst4tim]

Yes this camer has great quality and focuses well. Not sure what you mean buy blury background. You may want to check out some reviews of this camera I am enjoying mine and am very pleased with it's performance for the price.

[celliott96]

@jst4tim i think what he means is that say if you are trying to get a picture of a leaf and you focus on the leaf, everything behind the leaf is out of focus but the leaf is in focus.

[IronAmethyst]

Its not a DSLR,if thats what you ask,so the quality might quite differ,in low light,for ex,but overall the quality is great) and this kind of cameras blur the backround as well,but i think u need to zoom in a little) overall - great)

[DroobyTuesday]

@princessmaee Are you talking about when the subject is crisp but the background is out of focus? That is depth of field. If you shoot pictures in manual focus, you can get that. Not sure about manual focus on video. If you want a camera like that, get a DSLR, like the EOS series

[myhbeans]

@princessmaee i think she's talking about aperture settings, so you can change the depth of field

[nat92han]

whats the big difrence between sx10 and sx20 ?

[jst4tim]

Thanks for watching. The main difference between the SX10IS and the SX20IS is the SX10 only has 10.0 Mega Pixels and they bumped it up to 12.1 Mega Pixels for the SX20 also the SX20 will shoot (720P) HD video. I hope this helps.

[nat92han]

Thanks, so the picture quality is almost the same ... i mean not good?

[jst4tim]

I have not used it much for pictures but the ones I have taken look great. This model has more Mega Pixels and should take better pics then the SX10.

[nat92han]

I want to buy  my first digital cam but its really hard to choose which one is good but thank u ! =)

[IronAmethyst]

Its noisier,cause more mpx on the same size sensor. Schould be great on iso 100 though

[qtfamac]

Where is HDMI cable ???!!!

This camera has got HDMI interface... but where is the cable ?

[bassgrooves2]

i believe it is on the right side of the frame, HDMI and USB ports there

[bassgrooves2]

Oh nevermind I see you were asking about the Cable. In my experience just about NOTHING comes with the cable, lol

[jst4tim]

Thanks for watching. Sorry for the delayed response. They do not include the HDMI cable with the camera.

[cranjass]

Just got it this weekend, chose it over the comperable Sony that was $100 more and CNET said took subpar pix, used it to shoot video of a concert, came out great, 20x zoom works great in video mode

[SpiritLadyArtist]

I just bought one and I have only taken a few pics so far it was a bit fuzzy but close up it was great.

I don't know how to use all the features. On the Canon web site the ratings were not too good but most other websites has good ratings. Ratings are hard to go by.

I will have to test it fully whenever it quits raining outside.

I hope I made a good choice. I too had to go buy memory card and the book they give is not complete. You have to print out your own manual.

[rivendelcitizen]

Awesome hands on review! I ordered mine two days ago and can't wait to use it.

[jst4tim]

Thanks for watching.

[blackhonda]

Thanx for posting!

I wanna get a G10 til i saw this

now i stuck which one to choose!

[jst4tim]

Thank you for watching I hope this helped you.

[ram8727]

impulse buy, impulse buy, impulse buy! my wife hates when that happens to me! lol! nice camera! keep up the great videos tim!

[MrDoubled50]

Nice looking camera Tim! good video.

[jst4tim]

Thanks Doug

[swingking338]

this looks like a really nice camera. I have a Canon eos450d and I am big into photography but I'd say the video quality on this is amazing. Can't wait to see the videos shot on this. Great unboxing video; very detailed and informative

[jst4tim]

Thanks Stephen I am looking forward to testing it out still have not got the memory cards in.

[Ashley3G]

Congrats, Tim! I'm so excited for you..can't wait to see your next video!

[jst4tim]

Thanks Ashley enjoy your long weekend.

[BDogbz]

Sweet Camera Tim!

[jst4tim]

Thanks Brandon

[TheFreshPrince1313]

Nice unboxing Tim, Cannon makes some reeeaaally nice cameras, I plan on getting one of the big boys sometime in the future becausse I LOVE photography which is ironic because I HATE when people take my picture lol...thats cool that it has dual mics, should produce some excellent audio quality

[jst4tim]

Thanks Harlen. I hope the dual mics help. I will still get a DSLR but may wait for the upgrade to the T1I. I just needed something I could grab and go and use for YT vids.

[cruzazulino23]

NIce camera!

[jst4tim]

Thanks

[RLiighty]

Wow, awesome camera Tim.

Wish we had a best buy near me in UK =[ Only is USA i think?

Fantastic unboxing for a fantastic camera. Love that screen! Damn... =]
