Good video for kids basketball? I own a DSLR that I will be using for pictures and don't want to switch to video mode so will this be fast enough?

L P,Don't know for sure because I have not used my ELPH 330 to shoot video of a basketball game, but have been pleased with what the camera can do with people moving around, cars going by and a dog doing doggy things.

I found it pretty fast. I've used it at Jet games, and it was more than adequate. I suggest you purchase a fast memory card.

Probably? It doesn't do live focus, so where you're shooting from will be a concern. It should be fine for long shots, but if you're shooting from the sidelines, you might be better off with a dedicated camcorder or blow the bank on a 70D.

This card is very useful for RAW or RAW+JPEG continuous shooting. It is overkill as far as speed for 1080P video or even continuous JPEG or any type of non continuous shooting. I would recommend the extreme model (45MB/s) for what you described.SanDisk Extreme 16GB SDHC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card Speed Up To 45MB/s, Frustration-Free Packaging- SDSDX-016G-AFFP (Label May Change) [Old Version]Use the money you save by dropping down to 45MB/s to get a 32GB card

You can set it to burst mode 10 frames per second. Good to have a class 10 SDHC card to, will speed up time between shots (image capture to memory).

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

I bought it for my son and he has used it for a couple videos. Works well so I would think so but I am not a photo expert either.

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.

Fast enough for gaming and other stuff... Should be fast for the "YT"... I don't know what it is by the way... If it is YouTube then yes it is quite good for that.

Sorry, don't watch many videos on it, but I can say it is quite fast so shouldn't be a problem.

Get a high speed card definitely! You will see the huge difference when you shoot a video and the high speed card writes and reads much faster when processing photos.

Quality was good but the "video" was more like a set of fast still pictures vs full motion. I may have had a bad unit. Returned it and did not get another one. Good luck!

A Sandisk Ultra (15MB/s) writes at about 9-10 so anything faster would be wasted, generally. I tested shooting RAW+JPEG continuous (11-13MB per shot, max 0.9 fps) and got a small delay of 21 instead of 28 shots in 30 sec. Perhaps an Extreme III 20MB/s card would help, if the camera can in fact write any faster. The manual says class 4 for video but my 1st gen EyeFi (2.3MB/s write) keeps up fine. This is just not a camera that needs a fast card. FWIW, for burst shooting, try "low light" mode. min iso 320 and 1/4 res, but does 3 fps jpeg

Yes, the zoom and picture quality are great features to have when shooting sports photography. It also has a feature where the camera anticipates the photograph to eliminate blur. I've used it for basketball and bowling (in low-light conditions) and it works great.

I think this will give you a lot more than the option to take "kids pictures". :) I'm a novice abd really bright it for it's videography caPabilities. it is almost professional grade without the price. the add-ons however are rather disappointing. (sorry)

I don't use this camera for videos too much. But yes, once you stop recording it stops and starts a new. Memory wise, yes, videos take much more memory but a 32 should have plenty. I just returned from a trip to Europe and took lots of pictures, but, the limitation with this camera is the battery. It's rechargeable with save you money, but I'm planning on buying an extra one.
