1080p????

[iMagineThis1]

@TheWestRyders That's a little misleading, the output from the camera is 720p. I exported from Final Cut at 1080 (if I remember correctly) because I wanted the highest quality but I completely forgot that it shot at 720 so it did't make a difference.

Do you have focusing problems when you start a movie to shoot? I have, if i don't zoom, the image is very blurred.

[iMagineThis1]

@whoisrikk1 i have problems focusing from time to time, it all depends on what kind of light you're in with this camera. for me, well lit outdoors usually give the camera no problem with focusing, although indoors even with decent lighting i have problems with the autofocus :(

Do you know if Zoom Option available during Video HD 720P ? ?

[iMagineThis1]

yup, but it does not zoom in as close as when it does in photo mode.

also, the autofocus is actually really good when you are zoomed in on a subject and keep a steady hand too.

@iMagineThis1

Can I set the Fokus (for "extreme close-up") in the videomode and also in the photographymode maually?

I have to buy a new camera for my great hobby photography and it's very important for me, that I can set many Settings manually. So I found this bridge camera and I wondered, that it's so cheap.

Thanks,

B.

is it worth movin from NY to this place? anyone have exp?

I bought this camera and I can say it is a very, very, very good still pictures camera but not so good with videos.

I suspect this camera doesn't take the videos with a real 1280x720 pixels frame. I guess there is some internal digital trick which processes the real 640x360 pxs and enlarge it into the final full frame.

Just my idea, of course. But you can try to see the videos at half size and you will see a very good and better image, so...

[iMagineThis1]

it's a pretty good for the price. and there are many settings on the camera from both scene mode and a lot of manual/custom settings. great HD. i heard there is a new version (s2100hd), but honestly it's the exact same camera. so don't spend the extra money.
