Does this camera shot in TRUE FULL 1080p @ 24 fps (native) for a true film look? What kind of cable is needed to hook it up to my AVID PC?

no, this camcorder is not High Definition. It does not record in either 1080i or 720p. It does say however that it is high resolution, which is where I think it gets almost misrepresented. Here is the confusion.. Widescreen HR Recording The FS200 records true High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon's Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen. What difference does it make? It's simple. The more pixels captured, the better your final image quality is. Notice that it does not say High DEFINITION, it says high RESOLUTION. Easy way to truly know is that In order for something to be high-def it has to be 1080i or 720p!

I've done it the other way around. I shot something using a canon XAH! in SD mode using 24fps.I went into Premiere and created a new project using settings with 24fps. Captured the footage off the camera. Then I brought the video clip into the timeline. I then exported the workspace to media file,avi, with the setting 30fps. Came out good.

I use a converter and get really good picture quality. Is it top end? Don't know but to the naked eye it looks great.

i'd suggest searching you tube/vimeo for the handful of clips f/tm700 that were shot in 1080p/24 cinema mode and the HA 1080i mode...judge for yourself if the quality is good enough...if you have at least a dual-core computer 2.0-3.0 ghz you should be ok power wise.

Dear Valmore, thanks for your comments. I did get the external adapter and another coupler that was necessary, and got it to work on the noted external power supply. However, I found the slow-motion options to be impossible except when working under open strong daylight. Otherwise, the amount of light entering each frame was way to low to do anything with. One would have to post-process the image files to increase their brightness and contrast, so I decided to return the camera.

The question is not specific enough. I get wonderful video quality at highest resolution 1080p, with this camera and very happy with it. make sure your flash card is fast enough for Hi resolution recording.

Dear Patrick, This is from the back of the box: APS-C size sensor; full stereo movie recording (1920 x 1080p) @30fps. Does this help? John

If you're wondering if it is high speed . . . yes. The camera can do 240 frames per second (as opposed to the normal 30 or 24). It can also do 480 fps and 1000 fps, but the image resolution decreases the higher you go. Also, you can play it back on the camera's screen.

It's capable of 1080p at 60 frames per second, that's as good as it gets for hidef video. Just make sure to use a SD card rated at class 10 so no dropped frames.

No, for the price you really can't expect that. You would need to purchase your own Siamese cable (power/video) combo. I got mine here at amazon, inexpensive I think I got the QSEE brand. Quality on this very inexpensive china made camera is crazy good, for the price. I'm very happy with my purchase. I purchase an all white 6 bullet camera 700 tvl and 1TB dvr, I ended up using 2 of these and 4 of the bullets. So happy with my purchase.

I tried it on 1080P video and it did not work. So it won't work on 4K video. So I bought the Accell Ultrarun Pro high speed with ethernet hdmi cable. This one really works. But its more expensive then the other one.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

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............

has no firewire port but has USB 2.0 when connecting the camera with usb cable indicated on the display is connected to the pc, there you can find who wish to transfer files to the PC. or even the software recognizes the camera to make a direct import. I use iMovie and it works perfectly fine and I use Pinnacle 16 pc likewise have no problem. Greetings.

From a preview I read on another site (camcorderinfo.com) the highest quality output is true 1920x1080 progressive. Anything captured in a lower quality setting is the 1440x1080 resolution which was troublesome for some editing suites. I am waiting for some more professional reviews to be published comparing this one (and it's 120GB sibling) against the Canon HF10 which is getting good reviews. The Canon features a maximum 17Mb/s bitrate vs. the HDR-SR11/12's 16Mb/s maximum bitrate. The Canon is also flash memory vs. HDD but I don't have a strong preference either way.
