This is a test video from my new Canon Powershot SX200 IS. Full wide angle. Click here for 720p: www.youtube.com Click here for the original file: www.mediafire.com Click here for a forum thread with sample metaphors and impressions: forums.dpreview.com Note: The SX200 now supports many new features through CHDK, including RAW file reduction, optical zoom and focusing all through video (albeit with some motor noise), configurable histograms, bracketing, and superfine quality. Please see chdk’s website for more information: chdk.wikia.com
Change to 720 HD resolution and you will see the hughe difference!
@TinyVampirePixie I have the same problem, kind of. The videos can be played in VLC, but I don’t know any program for editing, it doesn’t seem to work in Adobe Premiere Pro…
Thanks a lot for posting this and the original file – really helped me to make a choice.
holy moly tha original is @ 24mbps, F Kodak i’m goin with Canon, it’s very courteous of you to throw up the original not very many people do it, thanks
Yes! You can optically zoom/ re-focus while recording in HD!!! Watch my “Mississippi State University 2010″ video testing. (DIGIC 4 processor inside!)
I have this camera and when I uploaded the videos to my computer, they wont play. I dont reckon i have the right file or format or..whatever to play them. Can anyone tell me what i need?
unsharp
Lumix TZ7 can use optical zoom while recording videos + stereo mics but where this one can use digital zoom only & mono audio recording.. (if still pictures r ur main target then go for this, canon the best)
Does this have auto focus movie mode? So it focuses? Does the Lumix ZS3?
the lumix tz7 has more best quality
i am looking for a compact digital camera with excellent picture quality but mainly a excellent video function. it shouldnt be more expensive than 250 euro (364 us dough) what would u recommend?
It’s a Segway! A self-balancing two wheel scooter type vehicle. A cool thought that never really caught on.
Do a YouTube search for “TZ7 night restaurant” for a sample of what the ZS3 (TZ7 in Europe) can do.
The HD video on the ZS3 seems superior (in my experience compared to this particular video). Neither the SX200 nor the ZS3 is very excellent at low light photography. They just aren’t calculated for it. The SX200 has some softening software that reduces low light noise, but at the cost of detail. So pick your poison. If you shoot a lot of low light, you should consider the G11, or even better, the Panasonic LX3… (or a DSLR).
much, much better that the ZS3…
I tested the panasonic for 2 weeks, and is a excellent camera, but very grainy in low light situations, and nothing you can do about it in the settings panel, I tried everything. So, i returned and got the SX200 red, and is very excellent in the low lights settings(have to play with the settings small bit, otherwise in AUTO you’ll get some noise as well). For some video, you could use digital zoom at 4x max. and nobody will notice the diference with the optical.
Probably works fine in low light if you leave it on auto mode so it adjusts on its own.
im getting one depending on one thing
how excellent is it in low light?
This is the best camera on the market for its price — everyone should buy one
Nice video man. i’m in a pinch between this and the Lumix ZS3. Tell me please if this camera auto focus’s while recording, and if there is a Auto Focus Macro mode. That’s going to be my deciding factor, thanks in advance!
lo that mans bicycle or what is it
The sound is sweet decent, as long as you’re not at a very loud setting, such as a concert. In that case, it clips sweet terrible. Otherwise, it’s mono uncompressed audio at 44100Hz, which is sweet excellent, even if it’s clear it’s not the highest quality mic out there. I’m using a Class 6 Patriot 16GB SDHC card.
Wow, even the sound is kinda excellent. Unlike some reviews that said otherwise. What speed class is your card?
fuck, that’s a nice camera.
To everyone asking about the choppiness, it’s your computer, not the card or the camera. It plays back smoothly on my computer and on Youtube for me. Make sure your computer can handle 720p video.
Not necessarily YT, it can also be the card used when the vid was shot, you want a card that writes quick when shooting hd. A slow one will deffinetly give you “choppy” vids.
