HD video of my kids shot with Nikon Coolpix S8100

[stunusa]

As you can see in this video, the Nikon S8100 video is not good in lowlight situations, it is very good with some light, the camera is outstanding in every other situation, auto focus is good and you can remove auto focus sound in video simply changing to simple auto focus, there are many complains regarding noise while shooting video but the camera demands some time to learn its secrets. Canon SX130 is a very good camera , I"ve owned 8 cameras in the past 6 months and the S8100 is my favorite

guys m confused between nikon s8100 and canon sx 130IS.m looking for better quality pics .which one works better in lowlight conditions,freezing fast moving objects etc.is canon 130IS better in daylight as compared to nikon s8100?

[bkajanetty]

do you think this camera has a good auto focus on video though? meaning is it fast and accurate?

[x3iShopx3]

@bkajanetty It's pretty bad... The auto focus seems to be locked in..

I got this camera a few days ago, I really like it, except for the zoom noise. By the way, my name is Andrés too hahaha

[CrimsonRGU]

is it really that dark?

[obeyjoe1]

oh man thats horrible that you can hear the motor on the zoom lens. or is it the lens going in and out making that noise?

[beckler45]

Yeah utterly disqualified because of the zoom motor noise...next.

ahh im actually confused myself between the nikon 8100 and canon s95 i thought nikon would be better even though im a true canon fan but you can hear the zooming which i don't like either. have you bought the s95 yet? which one do you think is better. im actually looking for better quality in the photo's though. heard nikon has best image, & canon has better video. thanks for uploading this though has me thinking twice. need more research tho. thanks again

@stephrios1 I know I'm probably responding too late, I was just looking at the S95 and the optical zoom is only 3.8x, compared to this one which has 10x optical zoom, this also has more megapixel 12.1 compared to 10, and the screen resolution is much better too. Also the price of the s95 is much more expensive. If you want better picture quality this one is better, or you should also look at the Canon Powershot SX210IS ($250, 14 optical zoom, 14.1 megapixel)

@ansuarez9 Thanks! & no you're not late. im still debating & waiting 4taxes to come.also waiting 2c wat they R bringing out in the new year. i saw a nice sony anex camera today and fell in love but havn't looked it up yet. As for the Canon Powershot sx210is. well right now i own the canon powershot sx20 is which is bigger if you look at them both i think the sx210 is a smaller version of what i have so im not really looking at that one. but thanks for your input and your video helped tons!
