Hey David, I just got my PowerShot yesterday. I'm still learning how to use the camera, but I wanted to know what camera mode you usually record your 1080p videos on. So far I've tried Program mode and Portrait mode. Which quality mode do you find the best for typical vlog videos?

[thecreativeone]

@Macintosh247 For 1080p video I usually just go with auto. It seems to work best so far.

Canon is so much better. Can't believe the panasonic costs nearly twice as much, the only advantage I could tell was the panasonic seemed to have better auto focus

[thecreativeone]

@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN To be fair, they're very different cameras. Technically speaking, the Panasonic is the way to go. Canon's video functionalities are purely bonuses, when it's really meant for photography. Still though, both cameras are GREAT for their prices.

@thecreativeone they are different cameras, but it looks like the canon's sensor unsurprisingly, even for a camera not made to do video, like the DSLR's, creates better video. The colors are much more vivid and the field of view is wider, it looks sharper (to me at least) and just better looking. Although, the audio is tremendously better on the Panasonic clearly.

[thecreativeone]

@actingzach Very true. The pros and cons of both cameras seem to be pretty balanced.

Customer Reviews:

I currently own a 5D Mark II and was looking to replace my Canon S80 which is now 6 yrs old. While I love the S80 and the quality pics it captured, the bulkiness of this point-and-shoot (P&S) became inconvenient. My wife was adamant she wanted a more compact P&S this time around. In addition to great pics, I was looking for a P&S with ...

@alangley1999 of course it does. If the video is good, than the pictures must be great since this camera was especially built for photos

Hey I recently got the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS, what would you say are the best settings for recording a video? And do you think it's a good enough camera to shoot little short movies/films? Thanks & awesome comparison video you got!! =)

[adarkershadeofbrown]

Much better quality than paying 400 dollars for a Panasonic HDC-SD600K. The Canon Pwershot Elph HS 500 has an even better HD quality than this one.

[alangley1999]

does this camera take good pictures

[MrMotihips]

The Panasonic looks just a bit better but not enough to warrant the price difference.

[TheAntiPC]

wow, great job bro. You made a great vid that is very useful to alot of us. Thanks so much man.

[vta1985]

This is a great side by side comparison. The shots with with the sun in frame show that the canon is a bit soft compared to the panasonic, probably due to lens coating. But on ebay the elph 300 is about $150 vs $500 for the panasonic. Thanks for posting.
