[TheGamerLand]

[ccloveshellokitty]

Can I ask what video light did you use? it looks amazing!

I too have this camera and though I have played with it quite of bit I think I'm lacking the video light :)

[robby102938]

How did you zoom while beeing in macro mode?

when I do it gets totally unsharp...

please tell me :(

[jose1991]

WoW Amazing Footage!

I got the same camera Love it!

[coldmetal94]

which one is better this one or the Nikon P100????

[ssam00]

that is an awesome video! I have a question? How does the camera perform in low light, in terms of both still images and video?

[bigbzon]

Scary spider, here in Sweden they are called Kors spindel which means Cross Spider due to that little cross on it's back.

[PatelPwned]

this is really awesome macro man! the camera is so cool!!

[larxiz]

What is "video light"?

[TheBug1961]

awesome video. like going into another world.

[iceslice99]

i have a lot more respect in spiderwebs after seeing how much time they put into it haha

[Gevalle808]

Best footage of an Orb Weaver Spider I've ever seen!

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

[Gevalle808]

I love it. I can watch it all day. And thanks for not putting any music to it.

[KonstaMay]

[arneduym]

[arneduym]

i just got the camera, how can i use macro mode?

[ForgotMyPasswordHELP]

were all the pictures on your website taken by a canon powershot sx 20 is?

[weixiaotiffy]

ewww but WOW

[mattpatterson444]

hey, great video! i was just wondering what settings you are using for this like did you change anything in the settings? because i have it under the 1080x720 HD video shooting but its still kind of grainy to me and im wondering if my settings arent set up right or something, they're just the default settings

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@mattpatterson444 all settings were default it may be to do with you lighting conditions.

[BakuKid55]

spiderman!!

[ShakedXsin]

Mission Impossible !

[pixuma]

it takes great video, but i really wish it came with better glass.

[galluspark]

How look the video quality on a HD flat screen?

THX

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@jwmb224 macro mode zoomed in, yeah it does do great video.

[ForgotMyPasswordHELP]

@WILDLIFEANDBIRDS getting this camera in 2 days, i'm gonna have hello lot fun i think :)

[akfishingirl]

what video light?

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@akfishingirl Just a external video light that i mounted on the hot shoe

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@Ztrimma flip out screens are smaller and more useful for videoing.

[MACMAN68030]

@Ztrimma yeah i like the screen plenty big anothe but it is a flip out screen and they are generally are smaller and more useful when videoing.

[FunnyMcBunny]

That is one nasty looking spider. I have this camera too btw, it's a fantastic camera for the price. :)

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@FunnyMcBunny yep its a great camera thanks for looking

[mowglitube]

nice video!! i have the same camera

[Ztrimma]

@mowglitube is tha camera good? i'm thinking to buy this camera, is it worth it? :)

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

@Ztrimma it's a very good camera well worth it.

[jpkpresents]

Nice Orbweaver.

[buchzone]

Das ist ein sehr gutes Video. Du musstest viel voraus denken um die Spinne so gut auszuleuchten und ihren Weg voraus zu ahnen. Ausserdem zeigt es das die Canon sx 20 is eine sehr gute Kamera ist, wenn man ihre Einstellmöglichkeiten ausnutzt und wenn man für Makro-Aufnahmen ein Stativ dabei hat.

[arHei777]

wow your hands are quite steady given how far you zoomed in

[msjaebea]

This vid is as good as any of the nature shows we see on tv!! How exciting!! I am buying this camera in a few days and can't wait to play with it!

[CharlesDarwin999]

Very nice film!

[neild3230]

Hey, cool video man. Can u control the focus manualy in macro mode? Thats the key thing 2 make me go 4 this cam!

[corriamo]

Lumix DMC-FZ38 / FZ35 has it AAA battery or home made one I mean you need to buy only original one - cause I don't like battery by same farm but I prefear AAA battery you can find them all over the world

[800764]

Never knew you could do macro while taking video. I though macro was only for stills. Shows how much I know......

[SharifaAlHashmy]

I think I'm going to head out and buy this cam, how do you feel about it?

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

I think its a great camera.

but another camera that is worth a look is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 / FZ35 costs less the image quality has slightly less noise.

but the Panasonic does not have the swivel screen like the canon which does help when videoing.

the Panasonic has a stronger build but the is not much between them overall.

I think if you get the canon you won't be disappointed.

Anyway if you do get it happy picture taking.

[bigbodlover]

how big is this original video file ?

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

around 250mb

[NatLife1]

well, notbad not bad really, i think 250 is still possible to upload))

[AlbertoBarreradotcom]

You should try using super macro mode, its mind blowing.

[americandream27]

OMG....I would of died! I hate spiders~!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great vid though! I have this same cam...love it!

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

Thanks how are you getting on with yours.

[NatLife1]

what is the difference in quality between this and SX10? people saying that this is worse than SX10 coz they up megamixels to 12

[WILDLIFEANDBIRDS]

well not owning a sx10 i don't know but from what i have seen on flickr not much.

but the video quality is better than some standalone hd camcorders.

[JamiePfef]

Hi there, I don't know if you want to help me or have the time. I just got this camera recently..I shot a video and uploaded it to my comp..it came out grainy as well as did sort of a strobe effect..very choppy when it played back. It plays back fantastic on the camera, IDK what i'm suppose to do to get quality like yours? do I change the download size or what..help : /

[pikesticker]

@JamiePfef I suspect that your problem is you have an old computer with a slow CPU processor. Video demands incredible processing power and HD video even more. An Intel Core 2 Duo chip is best for editing and playing your video on a computer. As a test, take your camera to a friend who has a high speed new computer and upload a short video to their machine and play it back. Then go buy an iMac and really enjoy computing and video editing. :-)
