[domokunlikesramen]

[ralphman11]

The picture is clear...That's a good sign...The audio is real good, too. I guess I'll take it.

[VannersHEARTSMakeup]

oh my the quality is not so good

[fustiest]

Alright guys the thing about the focus is he is moving free cam and the focus was working at some points but his hand jiggled to much

[MrDJidZ]

theres a bank robbery in progress

[megafio]

sirens and stuff? where is this? Detroit?

[thefunnybone3319]

is there a gangwar going on...all the cops man..

[Talal0khalid]

I purchased one and was a little disappointed in the picture quality. The image looked washed out and blurry and even worse when recording under low light or during dark scenes.

Even Cheaper Mini DV cameras by sony are alot better!

Cpacity 4GB its only 55 mins recording and then you have to buy expensive memory sticks that are double the price of SD cards.

[thatBrownguyis]

[ATMskater996]

[HelpingCharity]

u should use steadyshot for up close zooming

[pargacastorena]

how does it do at night with a single street light? How are you liking it so far?

[ngvgnDOTcom]

For a camera that is not HD this one has a great picture.

[Warlock254]

Use a tri pod and the auto focus can focus perfect at 60x....Takes a few seconds though.

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

do you know why the quality is so bad It should be great =/

[4erni4]

@iTouchiPhoneReviewer if you want better quality, go to the menu and go to the suitcase icon, there select "REC MODE' and Choose HQ, that will give you high Quality

[thetechnoexpert]

this camcorder of the Canon FS200 for video quality?

[thetechnoexpert]

does it have auto focus?

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

Sure does but this video quallity is acting funny

[S7M7T7]

249.88 at walmart getting it today

[Klingonmastr]

I figure its youtube causing the problem not camera since you said picture was sharp. I know this camera has 1/8 of an inch which is really small. The panasonic model with 70X zoom uses same size of sensor which isn't that good. Most flash based or cheaper consumer based camcorders have at least a 1/6 of an inch ccd censor. Even 1/6 of an inch doesn't do much.

[pargacastorena]

so the bigger the ccd the better? or is 1/8 too small?

[CoalaFilmes]

the bigger the ccd the better

[HappytreeeeFISH]

At Walmart this Camera is $249.88 [without tax, obviously]

I'm totally getting it :D

[touchappreviewer]

Very good video gives a very good idea of the quality of the camera better than what a review would, thanks

[TDInstuctor]

franky why would you downgrade from hd to hq? but anyways awsome video

[DeusExMachinaT75]

no hd

[l3ushy]

why would you downgrade from a hd camera to a standard quality camera???

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

the hd camera I had sucks =/ this one looks so good.. but youtube feels like being a bitch and making the qualitty bad =/

[l3ushy]

ohhh kk fair enough.. but what do you mean when you say "looks so good"? asin the picture quality or the camera itself?

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

they gay thing is that on the camera the qaullity is 100% super SHARP but on youtube it sucks =/

[l3ushy]

ohhhh i se now :D i didnt see the second message

[EzzyMcFezzy]

lol this kid lives in the ghetto :)

good camera

[littlegoofys]

you live in canada

[LuisMayhem17]

Dude trade it in, it's pretty bad :/

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

omg I am angry (got back from work) its sooooooo NICE on the camera tho =O must figure out whyyyy

[JaY5BlAzE]

yeah same problem i have it says that it is 9 MP im like thats great but not when you put it on YT its probably because of youtubes low quality try to put it in YT HQ maybe it will be good

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

im not sure what your saying =p so your telling me to put my camera to low q? or something

[JaY5BlAzE]

what i mean is that youtube quality is bad and not as good as the camera. So if you put the video in HQ for youtube it would be better

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

oh ok ill try thanks but I think i am in hq 9mb or something =/

[Klingonmastr]

You could get a cheaper HD camcorder such as one of the camera's made by Sanyo. You can get one that records at 720P for around $300 but it only records at 9MBS. It doesn't record at what most HD camcorders do which is at least 12MBS. I thought of getting a Sanyo HD camera but it doesn't seem like very good for being HD. Your better spending at least $500-600 and getting a good Sony or Panasonic HD camera.

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

I dont think its working so well what do you think I should do? Return the camera can get another one?

[JaY5BlAzE]

i have the same camera do you have it set to HQ

[iTouchiPhoneReviewer]

It is set at hq I am very confused right now why its so blurry its crystal clear on the camera and commupter

[GadgetGurl101]

looks like a good camera!

[BassistNumber2587]

pretty good for a non-HD camera

[MacTechMan]

Horrible Quality

[swingking338]

cool camcorder man. Looking forward to the videos that you shoot using this ; how good is the inside video quality. That's the one thing that suffers in the Kodak Zi6.

[iPhone3gReviewer2009]

bad quality? o.o

[SuperIpodTouchHelper]

i guess because its not done processing but thats just my thought

[BassistNumber2587]

its still processing...come back in 30 mins and it should look better :D

[thesundayblues]

its terrible

[GeekisCarnage]

Why do people always say "we" and "our"? is there 2 of you or multiple people with you?

[BassistNumber2587]

i guess people just say that to make people feel more like they are part of the video, or makes watching the video more like its personally aimed at you, but im not sure :D

[SergioColombiano13]

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
