Mauro's Moments - Canon Powershot G9 - Cameracast

We just added the Canon Powershot G9 camera to our inventory and we have been rather impressed. It is not going to be the new workhorse but it will definitely get it used on regular basis. One of the things that makes it unique is its ability to shoot video...so we decided to put the camera to work and shoot this whole podcast using the video mode.

I just got the G9 and I agree, it's an awesome camera and the video is great! I was wondering what the best way to record video into a computer , but using a different audio input ie. filming a music video but recording audio using a different mic. Is there a program you can suggest?

[mauromedia]

If you are using a Mac try Final Cut Express...if you are using a PC try Pinnacle Studio version 12. Cheers

your video made me buy the Canon G9 back in 2008!!

[danit0o0ruse]

what do you expect it's a canon :)

[MauriceFlower]

You forgot to say a very importent thing: It shots both RAW format and JPEG format simultaneously in the samemexposure!!! That feature can be very useful!

NOW, when I am writing this, the G11 has hit the market.

just bought one ! :)

correct, but in my case, i use as a primary consumer point and shoot for still pix. works great in that field. btw, the videos that i shot of dancing fountains in barcelona are pretty amazing, without zoom in and zoom out :-)

[botezuma]

that's awesome. I really appreciate you taking time to answer. I'll get it as well. thanks again. Cheers!

and btw, i had bought lense adapter, telephoto & wide angle lenses with it. but returned them after a week. it was pointless as it adds bulk to the camera (makes it larger than even small consumer DSLRs!) i dont plan to use G9 for wildlife/nature photography- for that i'll say buy a prosumer DSLR. i think buying adapter and other lenses for it gives a false impression that now we have a prosumer DSLR :-) For me, this is a small travel camera, and it does well on that front!

yes, canon G9 shoots videos in 1024x768. i just returned from spain tour-it was the trial tour for G9- and though im not big of videography, i took some videos of the dancing fountains in barcelona and they are all in 1024x768 format; and fantastic. btw, the still photography that i did was in 12MP- 3000x4000 and i set quality to "fine" mode instead of "super fine" and it was still amazing. what surprised me was how much i can learn about photography on this camera!
