Sony SX40 Handycam 60x Optical Zoom Demo

This video wasn't shot to be particularly entertaining... it's just another demonstration of the 60x optical zoom ability of the Sony SX40 Handycam camcorder. Good stuff.

its got only zoom not any detail

[rubbertoe]

It's not HD... just 720x480 I believe... and don't forget that YouTube compresses it more.

That's pretty impressive.. :O

EPIC.

Thank you, that was truly helpful. I've never owned a video camera, so this is all new to me. Were all the zooms with just the 60X optical, or with the digital enhancement too ? Are full optical zoom still shots more detailed than the video ? I live in Brazil, the TV system here is PAL, can the cam be switched between NTSC and Pal, or is that not a problem ? Sorry to ask so many questions, but you seem to be one of the few on here that actually knows about this stuff ! LOL cheers

@adipresley mine doesnt do it anymore, I record in the lowest recording file size and it still looks great and I use nero media player to view it and it works great, these videos suck viewing though windows media player, i think that was my problem

[adipresley]

@70dustpan - it also happened to me sometimes especially when i reduced the size of the movie to the smalle size by using window movie maker,Try use NERO or other..now i use samsung-intelli studio to edit my movie...

what converter do you use?

[iluvoilers]

Ohh I was looking at this cam a while ago, at the store!

[70dustpan]

I have this camera and it occasionally speeds up the video when u view it on the computer, which is irritating, any idea how to correct this!! It never used to do it, just recently!! I use the medium quaslity setting most of the time!!

This video actually convinced me to purchace this camera a year ago, and it performs very well. I love the choice of music along with some great shots, well done my friend.

Fantastic. I have a fujin hs10 and was wondering what it would look like with a 2x converter. 60x is crazy. Great video, most helpful. Cheers..
