I am unclear one issue. Can you record video onto a memory stick or just photos? And if so does it come out good? Please help.

Hell B. Schroat,Sorry I can not answer that question. I have not used the memory card at this time. The camera work just fine, so I don't see why the memory card would not work. It's worth the try. Good luck

Thank you for your inquiry. This camera doesn't have a built-in SD card to record video onto. Please purchase a DVR recorder to record video, and choose AVI when backing up your video file.

not a common problem, the camera shoots higher than 30 FPS which would be standard to capture motion in video. Camera is great with a great price.

This is my exact question. I bought the camera for video. We went to Costa Rica and although I switched back and forth between still and video, it only recorded video. The user guide doesn't shed any light on this problem. Luckily I also had my Canon ESO and a Nikon point and shoot. The still shots I took with this camera were when the other two weren't handy. Please, anybody, help!!!!!

The size of the memory stick that comes with it is 3.68gb (formatted). The recordings are 600,160kb long (I guess so you can copy them to CDR's for storage purposes ... not a bad idea actually). The duration of a 600,160kb recording is 30 minutes and 5 sections - you can record for longer but it breaks up the files into that size. A 30 second clip takes up 9,376 kb space. SO ... 3.14 hours. The memory card could be replaced with another card if more time is needed. It doesn't compress based on how much actions is going on. So you will use as much memory recording a still image as a full motion image. Also doesn't do motion activated recording. My most recent usage of it I recorded about 50 minutes of video, I ended up with that 600,160kb file and another file around 500,000kb long.

Yes though you may receive a weird message stating that some footage may not record properly. Never had an issue though. If it pops up inaccurate format simply remove the card (while cam is on) and put it back in. Should fix the problem

Mine has a video out, but I haven't used it, so I can't confirm the quality (I usually take the micro-sd out to transfer files if there's any I want to save or review). Per my experience with the rest of the unit, there's no reason to expect it wouldn't work fine, though.

Plays back your vids beautifully on your HD TV directly from the camcorder, just make sure you use the correct input jacks on the TV. Won't record tv thru the jacks, as far as I can tell. In a pinch you can steady it on a tripod and point at the tv screen to record--comes out pretty good.

I have always selected the option to not format the card and have had no trouble with recording images and video, as well as downloading those images to my computer. Not sure if that helps at all.

I did a few tests with this product and I stopped it after about eight minutes or so. The built-in 8gb memory stick seems to hold quite a bit but I've had a hard time getting this thing to record properly. Consequently, I haven't used it that much. Hope this helps!

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.

I really think the card is defective..when we put our card in the camcorder, it did not do such a thing...other option the camcorder is defective.

The camera records video on HDV videotapes (it can record on DV tapes). It does have a Sony Memory Stick slot that will store still pictures only (no video).

I'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)
