Thanks for the video so much. I was contemplating the 100 or the 500 with my only worry being the mono track on the 100 but after watching this video it sounds pretty darn good, especially in comparison to your flip. My decision has been made, the 100 it is.
@erasured I love the camera, we have used it every day for almost a year now. You can get a great deal on them on Amazon. Be sure if you want to shoot video to get a Class 6 or higher memory card.
@mixddime702 Manual settings, Menu - AF Frame: Center - AF Frame Size: Normal - AF Point Zoom: Off - Servo: Off. On top switch to manual when shooting video and Auto when taking pictures.
does this camera auto focus when you film? is there any way you can make it to? i have this camera and it won't auto focus when i film :( & if it doesn't should i get the 300 HS? does that one auto focus when you film?
@MelonKneeVan It does not auto focus like an SLR. It will change focus on it's own but really doesn't work very good. I'm not sure if the 300HS does that. I have to stop, refocus, and record again if I need to zoom, then edit it together.
@EP2179 Just shoot video! You need to be up high shooting down on moving things to make it look like it's toys or something. I never got it to work right.
@EP2179 There is a setting in Program mode to change it. It really only works if you are shooting down on a city or something. I only briefly played with it.
@EP2179 I just use the natural format the camera records in which is .mov I edit in Corel VideoStudio Pro which then creates a .mpg file for YouTube. I don't know about MovieMaker. It does have image stabilizer but it's only so great.
Hi! great video, very helpful! What's the longest you can record with a class 10 memory card? Any specific brands to recommand? I so wanna buy this camera! The only thing is that I travel a lot and I often happen to record up till 6 or 7 videos a day (10 to 15 mins average length)... so don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that using this camera... I'll be so thankful if you could share some info about that =)
@angelsafa I'm not quite sure, I have a Class 6 and the camera only records 10 min straight which I think no matter what that's all the camera will record straight. If your looking to see how much video can be recorded on a card, I have an 8gb and you can record about 45min total video before filling it up.
@HeyThatsMike Oh ok! I hear what you're saying =) The one I have is a 32GB Class 10 SD Card, but I guess I'll have to buy the camera to test it out, hehe =) Thanks a lot man!
@angelsafa With a 32gb you should get about 3 hours worth of video on it (in 720p mode, about half that in 1080p mode) Any other questions let me know.
@HeyThatsMike Yes, I think it has to do between the laptop I am using, windows vista and the VLC media player, I converted one video to avi, at 1024, and the video works ok
@sonoftaz Good deal, Amazon did have it for $110 last I checked. Awesome camera. Need any help let me know. If you want to shoot video make sure your memory card is a Class 6 or higher.
soo about the memory card. i want to take really clear and nice pictures. video doesnt matter much to me. so if i want the best possible pictures, i take it i have to get the highest class memory card? and you said yours is class 6 right?
@crow5423 Nope the Class refers to how fast the card records data. For video you need a Class 6 or higher to record data properly. If ALL you want to do is take pictures a Class 4 will work fine, plus they are cheaper.
If I go to like, best buy or something, with it say "class six" on the memory card package?! I'm kind of a noob, so I wouldn't really know how to find that haha. And how much is the memory card?
@BreannaLeeB If you look at the memory card itself it will have a number 2,4,6,8 or 10 on it or on the packaging. If you buy a 8GB Class 6 it should cost about 30-40$ and will record about 45 minutes in 720p and you can always but more cards or a bigger if you need more space.
@shully56 You mean to record video? Here is what I use: Turn top button to the left OFF of auto setting (next to power button), Menu>AF Frame - Center, AF Frame Size - Normal, AF Point Zoom - Off. Shoot in 720p (1280x720) no reason to use 1080p.
@HeyThatsMike Thank you! If I have any more questions I will just leave a comment or send you a private message! I love taking pictures and I have a flip but I never knew how good the video quality was on the Canon. Thanks again Mike!
I'm really digging this camera, and you can really tell the difference--especially just the sound--between this and the flip.
And thanks for the tips regarding the card, etc. And regarding your minor critique about holding the Canon (not as comfortable) for self photography. I wonder if you can just screw in a small tripod, keep it collapsed and use it as a handle.
@tejuvenky123 I love our camera the 100HS. You can get it for around $180. Does great video and pictures, you can't do pictures with a Flip. Make sure you get a memory card that is Class 6 or higher for video.
@williamk766 Yea I have an 8gb and get 44min of video on 720p. Honestly if all your doing is using it to upload video to YouTube 720p is all you need. Plus editing 1080p can be a big hassle if you don't have a powerful computer.
@jessecon5 it does pretty good in low lit, we vlog with little light sometimes and it's passable. Pictures is no problem, does a great job both with and without flash.
I just got the ELPH 100 yesterday, and I love the photos. I'm frustrated with the video process, though. I have an older computer (4 yrs, Vista) and I can't watch the videos on my computer. I have to transfer the files and convert them (is that always necessary?) , which takes about 5 minutes for a video that's less than one minute long. Then, the only way I can watch the videos is by uploading them to youtube. Am I missing something? My SDHC memory card is a 4 GB for Full HD video.
@hback316 What are you shooting in 1080p or 720p. Honestly for YouTube all you need to shoot in is 720. That could be the problem. You should have no problem watching the videos on your computer. I have a computer that's 7 years old that I can watch it on and it's XP. Now if you are editing the videos you may have a problem. Your card sound like it's ok, what Class is it?
@HeyThatsMike Thanks for the response. I did switch to 720p, and the video comes out a bit better on my computer (played from the hard drive) but still not 100% smooth. Oddly enough, I was able to play the videos just fine from my external hard drive, so maybe it's a problem with my computer's processing speed...not quite sure. But lately I haven't been converting the files, and they upload to youtube just fine, so I'm a bit happier now. :-)
i bought this camera earlier this week, mann do i love it! and its my first camera haha CHOICE! anyway, i can zoom while recording i do it all the time. My only con with this camera is the software that comes with it. It takes a LOOoonng time just to get a 3min vid uploaded. I wonder why.. If theres a faster way plz some1 tell me. I wish i can hook my camera in and take the vids off and send them str8 to my editor =] The pics get imported quickly...
The Elph 100 HS is way better quality image and video than the Flip. To solve your issue of holding the Elph100HS, you should consider one of those small handle grips that fit in the tripod hole. One of them is the CamGrip. You can find them on eBay.
Thanx for the info on the camera, i played with this one the other day and couldnt get it to zoom manually while recording. Can it zoom while recording manually? Your wife was moving the camera around alot in kinda low light but video still looks great. Seems to have great stabilization! still kinda curious about the focus issue, thanx!
@spikes910 It won't zoom after you've started recording. You have to zoom first then record. For the price it does a really good job even though a few things could be better like the zoom. Does a good job on the right setting adjusting the lighting conditions. Focus is a bit of a hassle too. I set the camera to manual (slide button on top to left) and change setting in menu to AF Frame (Center) AF Frame Size (Normal) this helps a ton. Take pictures on Auto setting.
@HeyThatsMike Thanx for the reply, thats what i thought i just wanted to confirm it with somebody that actually had one. I just bought a Sony cyber-shot H70 with 10x zoom and it takes great pics and video but you can hear the motor zooming in/out in video playback. Zoom Is not a priority for me but would like to have the option, thanx again!

@HeyThatsMike Yes, you can zoom in while recording, if it doesn't let you, the problem might be your zoom settings, i have this camera and i am able to zoom in, maybe in your settings, your digital zoom iis only set to off, you might might want to put digital zoom and standard.
@TheMuskwa007 Switch it OFF Auto, the button on top, switch to left, go into Menu and your AF Frame setting use Center. This help a ton even thought sometimes you still might get a focus problem. To take pictures I switch back to auto, for video I use those settings.
lucky charms used to be sooo good! They got discontinued in the UK because of the sugar content!!!! Good to see your keeping up the vlogs love the new camera
Glad yall got the camera's fixed tho :D The new camera looks pretty good :P
The flip is darker and way closer Just noticed that. hmmmm.
Poor Holly getting stuck in the house again :( and i thought our radiation here was bad. lol (its just.1% Xenon 133 from Japan, not enough to hurt ya) Poor thing :(
The bathroom looked AWESOME! Great job :D
Oooh cereal looks good, the cupcake pebbles tasted just like cake.
I was gunna do that to my coffee actually, but i didnt XD i was too shy. lol
@hospitalcakewalk We are happy with it so far. She is tired of being stuck at home, so she cleaned! The cereal was horrible! She said the coffee was pretty good.
Really nice camera, we will be switching from the flip soon. Well we will keep it, but I really like how this video came out.. Great vlog guys, thumbs up.
Nice I like the new camera! I got a new camera too I'll be making more videos soon, My mom always used to steal my chocolate milk and put it in her coffee, I could eat cereal 24/7
@MJG164 We are liking this camera, Holly told me you got a new camera and that the quality was really good on it, can't wait to see more videos from you. I love cereal too!
Love the quality of the new camera...can you give me the exact one (is it PowerShot SD3500 IS?) There are a million varieties. Where did you get it from? Thanks keep up the great vloggin! :)
I bought a Canon powershot sd 1100 which had an avi format. The 1400 was mov format and I was having trouble with editing problem. Got my Canon on ebay and love it for the cheap price I paid for it. Still playing around learning things.
LOVE canons!! That's all I have to say. =0 LOVE them!! Picture quality, video, sound, ease of use ... love them -- and they are quite sturdy -- they survive our family, which is saying a lot!! =0
My camera runs on the memory cards. They're expensive! We bought mine cheap online. I like the colour on it. The Canon was brighter than the Flip. I do like the Powershot better.
@TheMomof6boys We aren't too sure about the card thing, but so far it isn't an issue and we really like the camera! The cereal was gross! lol, but we usually like marshmallow cereal. Yeah she did, and she says it was good!
Sweet! I ordered the 300HS had for one day then had to return it to be replaced since it was damaged. Got to only play with it a few hours but fell in love again! lol
Looks good. excited to get back to videoing once again!
It is a huge step up from the Flip! Another great thing about Canon's is the great Macro setting! Some of the toy, black and white, and other pic fun modes!
yeah that Elph 100HS cam is for sale on ebay for as little as $149.00 and you should be able to use a class 4 card in that still, I can shoot 1080P on my Canon T2i and i only have a class 4 16gb sd card the one i am the MOST impressed with out of the point & shoot cameras is the Nikon S8100 that one is $249.00 but it's 12 MP and does 1080 also but the audio and video is SUPER crisp on that one. it's a little widerthan the elph100 though which DSLR do you have?
@daddytech We don't have a DSLR, but we would like to one day. We have just a Sony that Holly has had for years, it is big and bulky and used to be a good camera. So far we are really happy with this one, it just took playing with the settings and figuring it all out.
@HeyThatsMikeit's a Canon so you can't go far wrong with that but the 1080P video isn't going to do well unless you upload it straight to you tube in full 1080 and even then it might be grainy I was trying that with my Canon T2i (DSLR) when i first started recording video with it too full 1080 @ 60FPS and everything was grainy and rolling shutter issues the whole 9 but part of the problem was it was too much for youtube, the other part was how it was compressed. you see my TN capitol video yet?
mosquitoes are vampires day form lol. tech high five its like christmas for yo lol. n great great review honestly. love you name tags you still have hangn in your kitchen hey its mike n hey its holly. i couldnt even see the moon bummer it was soo stormy here.
@JustifiedThoughts Mosquitoes are horrible! We are loving this camera! Yeah we stuck them there and never took them down :) Luckily we could see it, but it was just a full moon to us!
The Canon image looks pretty good the zoom quality is very important on a vid camera. I vote for the Canon. Good job cleaning the bathroom Holly it is a huge job. Marshmallows in a breakfast cereal how odd.
@cheekychickenhead We are really happy with this camera so far! Holly did do a good job, if only it would stay that way! We love marshmallow cereal, but this kind was gross!
@ourlittleplanet We really like this camera! The audio is from the camera, no adjustments, so we are pleasantly surprised but it did take playing with the settings to get it all right.
I like the new camera Mike, you can really see the difference! Good to see your getting around ok Holly, I was worried u might have a hint of glowage on todays vlog,lol...wow, i love my coffee, but have never tried choc. milk in it before,always plain milk, but now u really have me curious to try it out! i remember loving Count Chocula and Boo Berry many years ago,lol.Alex's new cereal looks good! You will have to let me know what u thought of it. Its funny,i only like cereal @nite for a snack!
@boondoggle1000 We are really happy with the new camera! No glowing :( Holly usually uses reg milk, but we were out and she said the chocolate was pretty good! The cereal was horrible, even Alex won't eat it!!!
No comparison. The Flip is an entry level play camera, that doesn't even pretend to be serious. The Canon has real lenses and quality image sensors. The focus, crispness, contrast, and overall image quality were vastly better, just in the brief test. Sound quality is also dramatically better.
When I got my Canon (an HG 21) a year and a half ago, I retired the Flip, and eventually gave it to some needy friends. I just had no more use for it. You'll soon get past the learning curve and love it.
@anmoose We are really happy with the camera so far, it is great! agreed, FLIP is a cheap camera, it has served us well and we will still use it, but it is made cheap. Thanks!
@rangatang0624 We are really happy with this and will still use the FLIP too. We have some of those, but we like to be able to slip it into our pocket :)
I like your new camera best. I learned about the different classes of sd cards when our Christmas video looked like a terrible stop motion movie. Then I read in the manual about using a class 6 or higher like you were talking about. My learning curve is bigger than yours. ;D
@HeyThatsMike Thanks for the reply :)

@spikes910 It won't zoom after you've started recording. You have to zoom first then record. For the price it does a really good job even though a few things could be better like the zoom. Does a good job on the right setting adjusting the lighting conditions. Focus is a bit of a hassle too. I set the camera to manual (slide button on top to left) and change setting in menu to AF Frame (Center) AF Frame Size (Normal) this helps a ton. Take pictures on Auto setting.

@HeyThatsMike Thanx for the reply, thats what i thought i just wanted to confirm it with somebody that actually had one. I just bought a Sony cyber-shot H70 with 10x zoom and it takes great pics and video but you can hear the motor zooming in/out in video playback. Zoom Is not a priority for me but would like to have the option, thanx again!

@HeyThatsMike Yes, you can zoom in while recording, if it doesn't let you, the problem might be your zoom settings, i have this camera and i am able to zoom in, maybe in your settings, your digital zoom iis only set to off, you might might want to put digital zoom and standard.

how did u "shut off" the auto focus you speak of? I just bought this camera and that is driving me nuts! thanks!
TheMuskwa007 10 months ago
@TheMuskwa007 Switch it OFF Auto, the button on top, switch to left, go into Menu and your AF Frame setting use Center. This help a ton even thought sometimes you still might get a focus problem. To take pictures I switch back to auto, for video I use those settings.

That does look like a pretty good cereal.

Looks good. excited to get back to videoing once again!
It is a huge step up from the Flip! Another great thing about Canon's is the great Macro setting! Some of the toy, black and white, and other pic fun modes!

yeah that Elph 100HS cam is for sale on ebay for as little as $149.00 and you should be able to use a class 4 card in that still, I can shoot 1080P on my Canon T2i and i only have a class 4 16gb sd card the one i am the MOST impressed with out of the point & shoot cameras is the Nikon S8100 that one is $249.00 but it's 12 MP and does 1080 also but the audio and video is SUPER crisp on that one. it's a little widerthan the elph100 though which DSLR do you have?
daddytech 11 months ago
@daddytech We don't have a DSLR, but we would like to one day. We have just a Sony that Holly has had for years, it is big and bulky and used to be a good camera. So far we are really happy with this one, it just took playing with the settings and figuring it all out.
HeyThatsMike 11 months ago
@HeyThatsMikeit's a Canon so you can't go far wrong with that but the 1080P video isn't going to do well unless you upload it straight to you tube in full 1080 and even then it might be grainy I was trying that with my Canon T2i (DSLR) when i first started recording video with it too full 1080 @ 60FPS and everything was grainy and rolling shutter issues the whole 9 but part of the problem was it was too much for youtube, the other part was how it was compressed. you see my TN capitol video yet?

No comparison. The Flip is an entry level play camera, that doesn't even pretend to be serious. The Canon has real lenses and quality image sensors. The focus, crispness, contrast, and overall image quality were vastly better, just in the brief test. Sound quality is also dramatically better.
When I got my Canon (an HG 21) a year and a half ago, I retired the Flip, and eventually gave it to some needy friends. I just had no more use for it. You'll soon get past the learning curve and love it.
