mine was one or the first released and I can do optical zoom to 4.5 digital, and then you have to start another video to go from 3x optical to 12x digital... weird. I wouldnt be surprised if they released some software to allow you to zoom straight to 12x digital... but then again, digital always looks like crap to me so i never use it in video.
A very nice clear picture! Why, though, was this video so shaky? Was it due to wave action of the ocean or just you being so excited at being there and doing more than one thing at once?
That little dive spot is where fresh water meets saltwater, so there was some current pushing and pulling through there, also we were having to balance those helmets on our heads, if you angled your body you risked throwing off the water pressure and flooding your helmet a bit, and then finally, we had those stingrays pushing us so they made it a bit more challenging.
I was kind of excited but not really, we had seen stingrays before in the Grand Caymans.
Hey, I'd love to know how satisfied you are with this camera. Pros and cons would be lovely! Also, can you zoom while recording in video mode?
