How is the video quality?

I wont call the video quality great, but it is decent. The sole purpose I bought the camera was for pictures and videos from a rugged, affordable camera. So far it has held it's end of the bargain

Its an excellent camera, with great picture quality. I used my phone a few times to view it and though there is a lag in the video feed but the video quality is pretty good.

No, I found the video to be awful. We tested in various lighting conditions and with different settings, and it was always grainy and jerky.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

Yes the picture quality is quite acceptable. It works the other way too - a Sony still picture camera with a high resolution image capture takes surprisingly great HD video!

Yes. The videos are beautiful. HD videos. Only issue I found was while recording a video and zomming in or out, the sound volume gets lower during that time. But beautiful HD videos, nonetheless.

The picture quality on my 21.5,when streaming from NF is as good as the source and fills the whole screen in full screen mode.Get your popcorn,turn down the lights and enjoy an outstanding viewing experience.You'll love it.

The quality is pretty good, but you may have to configure it. I was unimpressed with the first pictures until I realized that there are settings for it. Select media, then push the gear at the bottom of the screen. Select "quality" and you can select from normal, fine and HD.

The quality is pretty good, however the screen is quite small, but once you hook it up to your PC the videos and still life are great. Do keep in mind though that the is no flashlight on here so filming in dark places is not an option.

It looks acceptable, the better the source, the less noticeable it is. Has a fairly fast pixel response.I can see the difference between it and my Panasonic plasma, but its ok.Have not watched any fast moving sports on it yet.

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.

Overall this is a very nice little camera. I have posted one video that I made with it, and it was a very decent quality. You will not be disappointed with this camera.

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.

The camera outputs 1080p, but no camcorder in this segment gets close to that in effective resolution. I find the picture reasonably good, but in terms of sharpness, an entry level canon dslr with movie mode will knock its socks off. But,and there is a big but, that comes at the expense of all the other issues you will have in terms of doing the filming with a dslr, like manual focusing (most models), audio recording (poor mic and level adjustments), panning (rolling shutter), ++.For home video, shooting kids in action, this camera is as good as it gets for the price in my opinion.

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.
