Hi I just got my sx200 today and shot some test videos, but when i view them on my PC they are for sure not in "hd", what settings are you using to get the quality of video you are showing in this video. Thanks!

Make sure to have the camera set to 1280 mode, and use a good video player on the PC. VLC player is always a good standby, but I usually use Media Player Classic with ffdshow personally. Installing the CCCP codec pack is a good way to get this set up easily.

what he meant was that you can't zoom in OPTICAL

but you CAN zoom in digital but that minimizes the video quality

lumix tz7 is the best

Like I said above, only digital zoom can be used while recording video, but optical zoom can be used before starting the video. Also, the 48x zoom is digital zoom for still photographs, along with the 12x optical. Personally, digital zoom is the first thing I turn off every time I buy a camera.

[ezzelinyt]

Only digital zoom is available while recording video. You can zoom a tiny bit without much reduction in quality, but beyond that it will get blurry. Of course, you can always optically zoom before starting the video.

Yes but only to 12 times It goes up to 48 times when in picture mode

[QueenKattz]

Yes it is, I just tried mine =)
