[jjpoland20]

With my Canon 600d and kit lens 18-55 i got better photo zoom quality after croping. buhaha and its just 3 x zoom

[scadish1234]

Video is good but the camera is awesome

[SSdeluxe1]

The Lenz is very Noisy...Otherwise nice quality

[defnyung]

one basic rule when shooting HD video with this camera: Use manual exposure 

[OreoLivesOn]

best camera ever!! i have it

[Ana5555551]

Omg whats up with the contrast! :O

[bennjanse]

Do not point your camera into the sun - it will fry the sensor.

@PhoenixDeathZ Do you know how to change the setting when you take a photo outside in a night sky? becuase i'm putting it in Auto to take a photo of the stars, it's not clear (can't see tha stars) soo ... do you know what kind of setting to change? Thanks :)

[Tantn13]

SX30 and SX40 is identical. its just SX40 has more HD and $100+ more expensive...

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@Tantn13 Eh, it also has a better sensor too. From where I got it, it was the same price, so I might as well have gotten the better out of the same price.

[LG141602]

@PhoenixDeathZ what kind of SD Card do you recomend? for best HD video results

[FirefoxFreeze]

@LG141602 I use Transcend. Very good brand.

[DeltaPhi79]

@Tantn13 SX30: CCD sensor. SX40: CMOS (better in low light. SX30: DIGIC 4. SX40: DIGIC 5 (faster). The SX40 has faster continuous photo shooting, 1080p video, and the option of 240fps high speed video. Here in the USA they're the exact same price. Identical? I think not.

[DuctTapeBobby]

please answer can you get rid of the dat in the corner!! pleasse answer

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@DuctTapeBobby Yes you can.

[Maxhasty]

Sx40 hs or sx30 is?? the sx40 is only a little more expensive

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@Maxhasty SX40 HS uses a better sensor and shoots 1080p full HD.

[defnyung]

brutha, use manual exposure and maybe keep your camera color settings to neutral. and get the right white balance. Your video doesn't look good...over saturated and over exposed. I know it's just a test video but this camera can give some good quality video with the right settings.

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@defnyung Hai!

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention in the title that I edited this with Youtube's Video Editor. Thank you for the comment, I will change the title to match that.

Thanks! :)

Also, when I get home, I will upload the original video.

What about the noise while zooming? It feels very disturbing if you are doing for example a video during a concert, don't you think? Is it possible to cut this noise while doing a video recording?

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@flame642 Ah, the noise. Well, with my type of videos, I don't care much for it. It's not like it's an explosion or anything. As for a concert, I think the music would overcome the zooming noise, rather, maybe. It doesn't bother me too much. I find the noise is noticeable only if I zoom in fast. I usually zoom rather pacingly, since I'm not in that big of a rush.

[Juanod09]

@PhoenixDeathZ ....hi, this is about SX40, ...can you playing video (and photo) in Slideshow mode?

[PhoenixDeathZ]

@Juanod09 Yes.

[jacosam62]

Not*

[jacosam62]

that CAN zoom in on that cube*

[jacosam62]

Work on that hand! LOL There are LOTS of people that zoom in on that cube and keep it steady. Noy hating though! Nice video. I might get this or the S100 for Christmas!

[FirefoxFreeze]

@jacosam62 Yep. I kind of use a technique where I stretch out the neck strap to absorb the shock and keep it from shaking. If I didn't, you would have thought there was an earthquake!!! D:

[basketcream34]

[wowmeagan]
