video: does it have a video setting and if so, how good is it?

The specs say it does --- I have an older Canon digital (about 5 or so yrs old) and the video on it is great. I would guess on the newer cameras, it is as good or probably much better. Hope this helps

Yes the video quality is good. Got this for my son and his videos using the 1020 fps feature are hilarious so he told me to make sure I mention this feature in my comment. Picture quality is also good and when I used this in our Siem Reap trip recently I was impressed at how well it adjusts to the different types of lighting. Great, easy to carry around, camera!

Quality is good... I think its rated at 720p and I think that's accurate. In low lighting it can appear grainy, but it good lighting it's crystal clear. I use mine scuba diving and have a lot of great videos. I usually feel like the video is a pretty good reflection of what I was actually seeing. Good luck!

I have not used it for video, as it was a gift for my son. I will ask him and get back to you.

No, however the video quality is far better than I had expected. No complaints.

YES! It has several different high speed recording settings: 240fps, 480fps, and 1000fps. There is also a mode where the user can switch back and forth between 30fps and 240fps. This is my favorite setting because you can show normal motion then switch to slow motion in the same movie. The picture quality is excellent. The rest of the camera functions work well too.

I am not sure....image/video is decent if lighting is decent. Otherwise it's dark ish (not totally bad). Hope this helps your decision.

Yes it does videos, very well outdoors. But indoors or low light they are grainy and slow (fast movement is blurred).

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.

No this unit does not have video. And is extreamly hard to control. I rate this quad 3/10

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.

No it does not. It has four video modes: 1920x1080(30FPS), 1280x720(60FPS), 1280x720(30FPS) and 640x480(60FPS). I use the 1280x720(60FPS) mode and the video is very good.

yes, but it has some problems with switchable graphics between integrated and dedicated video. i still couldn't figure it out.

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.

This camera does do video...pretty well too. But, at VGA resolution it is only good for Youtube, and will not look very good if you try to view it on TV. Step up to the SZ-16 model if you want full HD video, and super zoom at a great price...otherwise recognize this camera for what it is...an awesome pocket camera for everyday or traveling when the cost is not a great tragedy if it is lost or stolen.

yes, I guess the only thing is that mine is malfunctioning when downloading from memory to the computer, it does it but there is no sound from videos, only if tplayed in the device itself but not when I downloaded into my comp. sometimes the focus is flurry for 2 seconds and then goes back to being ok.
