** Panasonic Lumix ZS10 (aka TZ20 ) HD VIdeo Test 1920 x 1080 - Panning and stabilization Test MP4

This is a test of the Panasonic Lumix ZS10 HD video Recording. It was shot at the highest setting then rendered down to 8Mbps at 1920x1080 resolution at 29.970 frames per second with Sony Vegas. The file format used for rendering was MP4 on this particular video. I am testing the panning and stabilization on the camera. The footage is completely untouched with no effects applied.

Thank you the reply, I do understand your points, and UTube does limit quality as downloads, I should get my TZ20 this week.. I will post some results, but as I have a Vado HD I will be more interested in the still picture side of this camera..

thanks again.

@PEYIAKID The pictures from my experience are not bad, but I've read mixed reviews. It has a new cmos sensor compared to the zs7's ccd. Overall I think it will be a great shooter, although you won't have the same picture adjustment controls which were available on the zs7/tz10 (such as sharpness, etc...).

Hello just ordered this model, looking at all sample video shorts I have noticed the picture jumps a little from this the camera, or is it the uploading? I realise it is not a full blown movie camera and it really is for stills, but is this problem normal?

thanks all.

@PEYIAKID Hi, if it jumps it is only likely to happen when you are fully zoomed in to 16x. That is just the stabilizer kicking in to shift the lens. It is common with all optically stabilized cameras so I wouldn't let it bother you. Also the quality of this video is nowhere near the actual quality since youtube compression tends to deteriorate it. But overall it has very pleasing video. Hope that helps! If there's anything else feel free to ask!

This looks amazing! Although the most negative thing I hear about this camera is the battery life. Can you elaborate that or were you just testing it at a store?

[CanadaRC]

@BeeSting88 Hi, I'm not quite sure about the battery life. but I do own the zs7 (the model before this), and it has a ccd sensor, as opposed to a cmos on the zs10. In theory the cmos sensor's are supposed to be much better on battery life compared to ccd sensors. Given that both the zs7 and zs10 use the same battery, I'd assume the battery life should be better on the zs10. On the zs7 it lasts about 45 minutes to an hour on a full charge for video. Get an extra battery off ebay and you'll be set
