Nikon s8100 Jacksonville Air Show 2010

Taken with a new Nikon s8100, 1080p. A little shaky but the clarity and 1080p video is great. I was going to get the Canon s95 but it is $100 more and it only does 720p. The s95 is much better in low light video situations and has the miniature mode that I really like.
I have 5 Nikon film cameras and a D300 so I got this one just to take video with. I just built a homemade stabilizer for this camera and will upload some videos taken with it soon. Obviously this video wasn't taken with it. I am new to video so I have allot to learn.

Under Movie options I have 1080p and HS movie 240 set to default. You might have 15fps or 60fps set as default and that might cause it. Also make sure to use a Class 10 SDHC card.

What video settings were you using? When I have mine on 1080p* it does this skipping judder/jerky motion when I pan.

@NoodlesSF I have it on 1080p so I think your SDHC card cannot write fast enough. What kind of SDHC card do you have and is it a Class 10?

hi what brand of memory card

[shiesty90]

@hakan620 Hey, I am using a Kingston 16GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Class 10 Flash Card Model SD10/16GB

Very smooth read and write card.

@shiesty90 It's a 4GB SanDisk SDHC card and says C4. It came with the camera as a package deal at Costco. I don't know why they'd sell a card that isn't fast enough with the camera. I looked in the manual and now see where it says a Class 6 or better is recommended for movies. Thanks for the info/advice.

@16thYear I think for the price the S8100 is an excellent camera, you can pick it for around $250 now and the s95 for around $350. My stills, HDR and video from this camera are awesome and I have been into photography for around 25 years. I kind of equate the my cameras to having a 23 foot sailboat and a 37 foot sailboat. The 37' will sit at the dock for most of the year but I can sail the 23' everyday with hardly any effort. My 37' is like launching the space shuttle each time.

@goldenboi24k Tell me about it. I would pay to take HDR pictures of this thing with no people and a tripod. Might get away with a hand held HDR not sure. I think he keeps it down in Kissimmee, FL so I might go down and take some better shots of it and video.
