Panasonic SDR-S26 Video Test

Panasonic SDR-S26 Test
I replaced my Canon FS100 (may it R.I.P) with a Panasonic. The zoom is more powerful (70x optical vs the 48x of the Canon). My first day of owning the Panasonic SDR-S26, to me it seems that the auto-focus isn't quite as accurate as my former Canon FS100, it wants to 'hunt' more. Low-light capability seems to be a little bit better. I notice more lens flare with the Panasonic, probably the lens coatings or the glass isn't quite as quality as in the Canon. The S26 feels a little delicate, I wouldn't want to bang it around very much.

@NatureGrafix thx but i ask you about program or method... how do you load video on PC =) not on YTube.. my vids load on 4x3 =(((((( pic is stretching

@iHvn I take the SD card out of the camera, connect it to my computer via a USB card reader. I copy it to a folder on my computer with a freeware program called SDcopy.exe, which has an option to flag the video at it's proper dimensions.

How did you get this to be HD?

[NatureGrafix]

@Gamer19975 I would agree if it was optical zoom. Digital zoom, at the extreme ends, usually results in a severely pixelized and useless image quality.

@NatureGrafix 3500x zoom is enough to look inside a airplane, take pictures, video tape a tour, and see wat they're for lunch!!!!
