great job! I couldn't find this one for sale so I got the Canon VIXIA HF20 HD Dual Flash Memory with 32 GB Internal Memory and 15x Optical Zoom. It is a lot of fun. Creative fun.
I think this video was helpful and showed me a good array of what to expect with it. HAVE a $1200 sony 8mm(old now) but it is tiring to take long videos of things. I hope it will work well with my imovie on my mac. Thanks and good job!
Hi everybody! Thank you for all the comments and the support for this video! I can't belive it reached more than 10 000 views! thank you! :D have a nice day ;)
I'm sorry for the very late respond! D: I hope you've already got help, but I'll answer the question anyway.
I've got a 4GB sdhc card wich I can record for about 1h & 15 minutes (In SP recording mode), so a 8GB card would be about a bit over 2 hrs in sp mode. the xp mode goes with about 9mb per sec. so maybe... a little less than 2hrs? maybe something like that :)
please answer this, i want to use widescreen but when my videos are transfered to my laptop they are compressed into a square, it looks ugly, how do i get widescreen?
are you using the editing program the camera came with? you can change to whidescreen in that editing program. I'm not at the computer with the convertingprogram, so I can't help you any further, but I hope it helped a bit at least.
No, there's no touchscreen on this camcorder :( but you're using the joystick to change the focus from close and far away focusing :) the clip wich begins ca 00:51 is manual focusing, but it was my first time using manual focusing, so the clip is really bad xD sorry for that :P
hm... I've never tried to record from tv-screens, but if you're recording a old time tv ( 4:3? ) the "black stripes" will get recorded on the camera too ( if you understand what I mean :)
hm, in the lower ligts ( like before i used the camera light) the picture is a bit... not blurry, but there are some "colour dots" in the picture wich makes it look a little weird and blurry-ish. it looks more on the camcorder screen than on the movies in the computer, so it's not that worse as it seems :P
exellent quality! I wonder what is the slow motion like - I mean if I use a some kind of movie maker to slow it (there's no slow motion effect on the camera right?). your cat is awesome :D
I use Windows movie maker to slow it down, and the slow motion is pretty ok. I think you can expand the frames/sec from 25 to 30 or more to make the picture look nicer in the slow motion, but I haven't tried it out yet. thank you :D
thanks for the test videos buddy im looking tog et a cam if i can save up the money. first i was looking at the canon DC models they are mini dvd cameras but i thought about ti and if the cam got jared around a little hard it would ruine the dvd. looked at the ZR models next but found if i shot 1 hour of video it would take me 1 hour to upload it to my computer this is the camera i am researching now so far so good. let me know what you dont like about it so i'll have more info on it
so far the things i dont understand yet is SD and SDHC cards i dont know what the difference is between them. any info you can tell me about the camera and or the cards will be helpful to me and will be appreciated
the SD-cards are more for photos than for filming, I think that's the only difference ( that's what I've heard anyway, If someone knows more, please comment here ;) ).
if you want to know someting more, just send me a PM ;)
SD cards are only available in sizes of up to 4GB, SDHC cards have higher capacities (and are therefore more commonly used for filming) but a lot of devices that were made for SD cards don't recognize them
there are some few things I don't like with the cam; the dark indoor shots are not so good ( well, I've heard that there are not many cameras with good indoor shooting :S ) and if you're somewhere quiet place and using the zoom, you can hear the zoom on the clip later ( but there is a av/out for a mic on the camcorder if you want to avoid that). that's the only things for the moment :P

Everyone download mpeg streamclip. It converts any codecs to awesome quality. Don't forget to use a class 10 SDHC card for your recordings:)

I do not know, I use a pc with Nero vision and Windows movie maker, so Imovie might mess it up, but some of the quality on this video is gone too.

how do u manual focus it? touch screen? o.0
MusicalLuver88 2 years ago
Yes, it have manual focusing using touch screen, and I would prefer tripod with that feature or if you record with ur hands, video will shaky.
This video is using just auto-focus.
iPAllianzee 2 years ago
No, there's no touchscreen on this camcorder :( but you're using the joystick to change the focus from close and far away focusing :) the clip wich begins ca 00:51 is manual focusing, but it was my first time using manual focusing, so the clip is really bad xD sorry for that :P
ChupChup91 2 years ago
@ChupChup91,
Oh yes, it doesn't have that touch screen. I'm using sony's camcorders, and there is always touch screen.
Clip isn't so bad... it is good, because it is hard to focus with joystick.
