Many reviews on the picture quality, but how is the video recording? I just read an occasional comment on that aspect of the camera. Thank you

Video is good, but lacks autofocus while recording, mic input, and HDMI. Image quality of stills is excellent. Most controls can be accessed with right hand. External TTL flash units are pricey, but works with cheaper manual flashes. Advantageous for travel, with ability to use AA batteries and weather sealing. Good value for the money.

I have not taken to much video with this camera, mainly because I would rather have a real video camera, but for a digital camera it's not that bad. I have taken one video indoors, and footage itself didnt seem to dark. There was very little light in the room, but the camera was very good with adjusting to that. But it likes to go through baterries like it's cool when you do take video.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

I have used the camera to take pictures, but haven't really shot any video with it. The pictures are very clear and sharp. The video that appears on the screen when the camera is on is clear and smooth, and that's thru an older Pentium 4 processor desktop.

I have recorded video on my panasonic digital camera from time to time, but I primarily take stills so I cannot attest to the hd video......but the stills come out great.

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).

My son and I have "played" around with the video recording mode a couple times- I am no expert nor the best person to critique it, however I have had several camcorders and they seem better at video recording than this camera- but for a camera it did alright. I think it takes 29 minutes of video- that's off the top of my head. The camera specs should say. It is a great camera and probably the best entry level slr[t].

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

While I have used the video, I rarely do. So I am no expert. But, to me, the video is as good as the pictures- the sound is fine. It shot in low light really well, so maybe that helps you? I'd say it is certainly as good as my iPhone is!

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.

Sandeep,I am also trying to decide between the three cameras you mentioned above, and looking at the date of your post, you probably went ahead and purchased one of these. Would you be kind enough to tell which one you bought and in what ways you're pleased or not?Thanks

Hi; The picture quality is great. I feel the optical qualities of this camera are superior.

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.
