Canon FS10 TEST FS100 Zoom 45x MACRO PART 2 [LR]

[TheMachinimanator]

cant it record in 16:9?

[ohsnapitszach]

i have the fs10.....video and audio quality is great but if you plug it into your computer , it has to also be plugged into an outlet which is stupid

[Gizuco]

yes.. it's incredibly annoying!!! In fact I usually use an SD card.. Hope that they will fix it with a firmware change...

[sonickid8400]

wtf is that guy doing in the street?

[ReptilianResistance7]

Can this camera be used as a capture card? Thanks in advance!

[jubydoobe]

i just got this camera but it wont work with windows movie maker....what should i use instead?

[killerfoot101]

It works with it. Just rename the file .MPG instead of .MOD

[Ciaela]

But you shouldn't be using windows movie maker anyway!

[qvims1]

try to get a software that can do the file to a file that windows movie maker can take..

[corriamo]

which software do you use to get to sw decode immediatly 16:9 so I will buy it emmediatly .

[Gizuco]

imagine: it's free :)

Mpeg Streamclip, both for mac and pc.

you can also play with aspect ratio and cropping during the export phase, to make a 16:9 in 4:3 and viceversa

[Gizuco]

Just use a good stand and zoom with the remote, you'll see that your videos will be clearer.

And.. anyway, upload a 640x480 file, in mp4 format, even better if h264 coding

[montifox1984]

i just got FS100 ... and how come u got so clear picture? HELP!

[corriamo]

I wonder why when I shot movies with my fs 100

with 16:9 the video coming out is not natural and with this I mean if you make a video to people in 16/9 they look tall and thiny and I wonder qhy put on the market a video problem like this I discover it after two minute I bougth it so I wonder Why Canon engeneer did'nt resolve it - the problem doesn't come out if you record video on normal scren 4/3

anybody of you found the same problem and qhich way you resolve it

[Gizuco]

I Think you're simply messing up with settings.

IF you're talking about how you see this directly on a TV, you should set the "TV aspect" settings on 4:3in play mode.

If you got this problem on your PC, probably you're not using the correct software for the mpeg file, because Canon writes the 16:9 bit in an unusual way that only few sw decode immediatly.

Please do some more tests, mine (so I think your) is ok on the aspect ratio

[Hamstertabbygirll]

wow now thats detailed! you have a great camera

[siwczen]

Good Makro ;)

[directorPlz]

Is this canon fs10 or fs100??

They are different models and fs100 have better rating.

[Gizuco]

CCD and optics of FS10 and FS100 are the same.

This is a 10.

[directorPlz]

Thanks for info!

I think im gonna get the fs 100 because of the blue color. I would like a black version but the 16gb model is just too expensive, they are charging almost 100 for 16GB. You can get the same amount with a $65 SD card.

The macro seems to work pretty good.

[Gizuco]

Correct, the 16GB is out of price, you can buy how many SD you want and get the same results.

Considering the fact that the SD price with time will drop, I think too it's the right choice.

[bugmanchad]

How far does the screen rotate? Can you look at it will taping yourself? The quality looks good. Thanks.

[Gizuco]

Yes sure.. turns 90 degrees on the vertical axis and 180 on the horizontal.

You can see yourself filming.

And the remote control is really useful!

[timwkd]

Cool thanks, the battery life is a legend!

You said you have the JVC 134E, how long is the battery life? Was that sufficient you think? Because the JVC MG330 hav 110min and it really seems to be a big downer.

Im going Cyprus soon so hopefully be bringing a camcorder with me :)

Thanks

[Gizuco]

The jvc had 90 mins of battery and lasted not so long.

Actually the canon seems to have AT LEAST 120-150, using and deleting and reviewing. I think in 3 or more charges will reach the maximum.

Have a nice trip to Cyprus and show us something when you'll be back :D

[timwkd]

Wow this camcorder is awesome! Definatly buying it! Was considering the JVC MG330 since it have 30GB.. but still this looks better!

Thanks for the vid!

[Gizuco]

I had a similar JVC, the EVERIO 134E, but here the lens quality make the difference.

Buy some SD and live happy and free :D

[timwkd]

Thanks for replying! So what size are you using? And is the battery life really lasting 3hours!? Its jus awesome!

[Gizuco]

8Gb inside the FS10 plus a 8GB SD class 6.

For doing some tests is more than enough.

The problem may be travelling around without a notebook with you...

Yes the battery seems to last a lot, I played all the day and recorded at least 1 hour and I still have 1 1/2 hours lasting.

I could tell you more in the next days with 2 or 3 complete cycles of recharge.

In the manual honestly they says that recording and reviewing and deleting your battery could last at least 100minutes.
