what about the videos: no one spoke of this camera doing any videos and what the quality is like?

if it's anything like the L22, the videos are good quality and can take videos up to 25 minutes long

Dear Sir, really I didn't check it enough yet, but any way the non professional cam is little good indoor. Have a nice photos

The video seems to be just as good as our point and shoot which has full HDmovie as well. Seems like people have left poor reviews because of the microphone being an internal monomic vs capability for an external stereo mic. The sound quality as is seems fine. The video is also fine, one caveat would be that I am not sure if it can autofocus when zooming in during recording. Hope this helps.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

I did get the camera and I am loving the quality of the recordings. I did the same thing that you mentioned above... I could only laugh when I read your post. Take care and good luck... By the way - you can download a free trial from Adobe's website just in case you want to test the software first.

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

It has a camera, not a very good one (lo-res pixel count). I'm not aware of it being able to take video.

Video quality from the camera is great. Just make sure you're using the STM lenses otherwise you will get the motor noise when it's focusing. Also, autofocusing with video is a little slow to lock-on compared to most camcorders today.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

Sorry, I'm no help. I have never tried to use the video aspect of the camera. I do like the camera tho'!

It's a great camcorder though. It has more features than any other pocket camcorder. See my review on Amazon for details. http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EVMDDEHU0WG0/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B003ZYEKJ0&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=#wasThisHelpful

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

I was wrong. about the camera not taking 3-D video. It does. I was going from memory, and since I didn't buy the camera for video, I assumed it didn't shoot video. However, after checking it out, it does. It is a red/blue video, like the still pictures.

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 Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).
