Video mode: Has anyone tried the video mode?

Yes, I took video of my grand daughter's youth pagent. Using zoom, about 45 feet from the stage, I was delighted with the performance of this camera. Is it a video camera - no. But it does a very respectable job AND the audio came through loud and clear, with no external microphone. I'm satisfied. By the way, it's great as a still camera.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

I haven't used the video all that much but seems OK to me. Yes, you can zoom in and out during video recording.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

I video soccer games and baseball games on HD mode and although the screen is small (of course, since it is a pocket camera) the videos come out great. I've even used the underwater mode while snorkeling and loved the video.

Sorry I never tried but I doubt you can see video but audio yes. Also its a little powerhouse definitely worth the buy to go along with a tv

Yes I have tested this, Played UT2004 in all its 1080p glory, looks amaring, you might have to adjust for overscan though.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

I just pulled the micro SD card from the helicopter and plugged it into an SD card adapter and watched the video on my Macbook Pro. The brighter the lighting the better the video quality. Its not great quality video but it works and is kind of fun to play with.

Honestly, I've not been able to get it to play any of the video formats -- and I've tried them all. Effectively, I pretty much use it just for music.

I have never tried doing that while taking video. But very pleased with camera!

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.
