z812 is Video @ 640x480, Vigo streets

This is the first video i made with my new Kodak z812 is. Note that sometimes it takes a bit too long to focus, but in general the video quality is good. This video shows the busy streets and the rush of Vigo city. Hope you like it!

I have a Z812IS as well, and have been using it since around 2008 when my old Canon decided to bite the dust. Great camera for stills, and with lots of options too if one doesn't feel or doesn't know how to use the manual options. As a Railfan who uses this for train spotting films, I wish the audio quality was far better improved. I think it shows a bit here where it sounds like one of those recordings of earth from a satellite in space from all the frequencies they get from there.

I also own a Z812. To take great pictures, use the program mode which allows you to set parameters such as color intensity, contrast etc. I was very pleased with the 16X9 photos with this camera burned to a dvd-r and watched on a HD tv set.

I was not so pleased with HD video quality and the atrocious sound quality this camera gives. Believe it or not it does record stereo sound but it's the lousiest stereo sound that I ever heard. The audio is too overmodulated.

i love this camera but i have to agree, the sound sucks ass in loud enviroments like concerts or parties. best thing to do is cover the microphones but whats the point in that.

i am very interested, which camera did you end up buying?

[oyapon]

its because you cannot take a youtube videomake for this camera. Youtube compress the video

I own the z812 and yes the sound is awful when theres really high noise as it distorts. Yet with most compact cameras with video function you'll notice this flaw.

Either you accept that this camera has a decent videofunction with decent photographing abilities or you buy a separate videocam. Another solution is to have a separate audiorecording equipment and then overlay the pro-sound on the finished video.
