[thecrismaster099]

I have this cam!!!! but I dont know how to get rid off the fucking date stamp

[WebkinzGal256]

i have this camera, but i don't know how to upload videos from he camera to youtube. how did you upload this video ??

[AweSomo84]

very nice im looking in to buying this camera

[drionshk]

if you record at a concert with a ton of bass, will it drown everything out?

[Justimusfilms]

How did you render this? Cause when i upload 720p the 360 looks horrible and 720p not. I shoot 720p whith 30fps. What format you use and all? I need help cause i upload a lot :/ your video looks great in 360p too.

[wexaaaa]

I have this camera ! Just amazing !

[chocoluff]

it's very good at 720p.

[paben101]

wow

[KiyomiTakada]

Can it zooms in while it records the vid?

[zaraki888]

@KiyomiTakada No it can't. That's why I returned it and I bought the lumix tz7. It can zoom in during filming but I have to say, don't buy that one either... It's a waste of money for bad quality.

[wexaaaa]

@KiyomiTakada Yes. 12x !

[Paulostar86]

Change to 720 HD resolution and you will see the hughe difference!

[grundgemonster]

Thanks a lot for posting this and the original file - really helped me to make a decision.

[dacansfinest]

holy moly tha original is @ 24mbps, F Kodak i'm goin with Canon, it's very courteous of you to throw up the original not very many people do it, thanks

[Dmitry220]

Yes! You can optically zoom/ re-focus while recording in HD!!! Watch my "Mississippi State University 2010" video testing. (DIGIC 4 processor inside!)

[TinyVampirePixie]

I have this camera and when I uploaded the videos to my computer, they wont play. I dont think i have the right file or format or..whatever to play them. Can anybody tell me what i need?

[henkeliduu]

@TinyVampirePixie I have the same problem, kind of. The videos can be played in VLC, but I don't know any program for editing, it doesn't seem to work in Adobe Premiere Pro...

[KaterJames]

unsharp

[imazin1777]

Lumix TZ7 can use optical zoom while recording videos + stereo mics but where this one can use digital zoom only & mono audio recording.. (if still pictures r ur main target then go for this, canon the best)

[laphongtudo]

Does this have auto focus movie mode? So it focuses? Does the Lumix ZS3?

[mazda1979]

the lumix tz7 has more best quality

[DJaysParadise]

i am looking for a compact digital camera with good picture quality but mainly a good video function. it shouldnt be more expensive than 250 euro (364 us dollar) what would u recommend?

[yakuzablitz]

It's a Segway! A self-balancing two wheel scooter type vehicle. A cool idea that never really caught on. :(

[TyMaYoJa]

Do a YouTube search for "TZ7 night restaurant" for a sample of what the ZS3 (TZ7 in Europe) can do.

[TyMaYoJa]

The HD video on the ZS3 seems superior (in my experience compared to this particular video). Neither the SX200 nor the ZS3 is very good at low light photography. They just aren't designed for it. The SX200 has some softening software that reduces low light noise, but at the cost of detail. So pick your poison. If you shoot a lot of low light, you should consider the G11, or even better, the Panasonic LX3... (or a DSLR).

[UnbornMedia]

This is the best camera on the market for its price -- everyone should buy one

[evrdrandosity]

im getting one depending on one thing

how good is it in low light?

[UnbornMedia]

Probably works fine in low light if you leave it on auto mode so it adjusts on its own.

[moiseso]

much, much better that the ZS3...

I tested the panasonic for 2 weeks, and is a good camera, but very grainy in low light situations, and nothing you can do about it in the settings panel, I tried everything. So, i returned and got the SX200 red, and is very good in the low lights settings(have to play with the settings little bit, otherwise in AUTO you'll get some noise as well). For some video, you could use digital zoom at 4x max. and nobody will notice the diference with the optical.

[TimsTechBlog]

Nice video man. i'm in a pinch between this and the Lumix ZS3. Tell me please if this camera auto focus's while recording, and if there is a Auto Focus Macro mode. That's going to be my deciding factor, thanks in advance!

[jupiter1716]

Wow, even the sound is kinda good. Unlike some reviews that said otherwise. What speed class is your card?

[ezzelinyt]

The sound is pretty decent, as long as you're not at a very loud setting, such as a concert. In that case, it clips pretty bad. Otherwise, it's mono uncompressed audio at 44100Hz, which is pretty good, although it's clear it's not the highest quality mic out there. I'm using a Class 6 Patriot 16GB SDHC card.

[Pathrissia]

@jupiter1716 mine has same sound

[brianutube]

fuck, that's a nice camera.

[ezzelinyt]

To everyone asking about the choppiness, it's your computer, not the card or the camera. It plays back smoothly on my computer and on Youtube for me. Make sure your computer can handle 720p video.

[yodude010]

@ezzelinyt

yea, its working perfectly fine here as well. Good result, i'm thinking of purchasing it. I heard it gets some kind of lens error or something. Did you ever face this kind of problem?

[Ganbacchau]

Not necessarily YT, it can also be the card used when the vid was shot, you want a card that writes fast when shooting hd. A slow one will deffinetly give you "choppy" vids.

[SonnyDelicious]

hey i know where that is... near the space needle in front of the opera house....

[roadrage638]

i'd ask for a refund...

[KingTobbeofSweden]

This camera is wery good

[wd003us]

very impressive. i am sure the zoom is great too. The panazonic one is 100 dollars cheaper tho.

[sisigwithrice]

I was thinking of getting the canon TX1 but this one definitely looks better! thanks!!!

[shiryu22]

Holy hell the quality is great on this.

[danny007boy1000]

so good !!! You can burn this on dvd i think. Only digital zoom you can use

[gaaraman08]

what is the frame fate foor the video on this thing? cause the vid dont look that good except for the detail and quality

[ezzelinyt]

30FPS. How would it not look good except for detail and quality? If it's choppy, it might be your computer or internet connection. 720p video takes a lot of processor power to play.

[Tentelli13]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the processor/graphics. What processor do you have on your computer? Is it adequate to handle such big files?

[Mordict]

I see some choppynes too and I can play 1080p files at 25Mb/s easily. I think it's just YouTube flash player not working properly with the encoding of this clip.

[Barretlight56]

Thanks for the video and all the helpful pictures you uploaded on flickr.

[shopdancedream]

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful!!

[shopdancedream]

Do you prefer the Canon SX200 or Panasonic ZS3?

[ezzelinyt]

Well, it was between the Canon SX200, the Panasonic ZS3/TZ7, and the Samsung HZ10W/WB500, and I bought the Canon, so I think that's your answer. :) But yeah, I preferred the image quality, manual controls and video quality of the SX200. The SX200 cannot zoom or autofocus during filming, but that's not something I do very often. Anyway, you can always stop filming, zoom, and start filming again. And the ZS3 has a problem with focusing during videos, where it will sometimes just go out of focus.

[Edudeoliveira2]

Please, Do you have control zoom during recording?

[ezzelinyt]

Autofocus is not active during recording. Compare to the Panasonic ZS3, though, this isn't a bad thing, as the focus occasionally hunts around on that camera and goes out of focus.

[rakgitarmen]

Well it's better than nothing IMO. You can still disable zoom and AF in TZ-5/7.

[midgum]

Thanks for the sample videos. Is autofocus active during recording or fixed when you press the shutter?
