I do both makeup tutorials and vlogs on YouTube. Do you have experience using this camera for those kind of vids? Would you recommend it for that?

It will work for a low cost solution. The camera does have an optical zoom, but other than that everything else is automatic. Great point and shoot camera for both pics and vids.

Sorry, I'm no help. I have never tried to use the video aspect of the camera. I do like the camera tho'!

you won't be disappointed. I've used this camera, professionally, for video and I've had excellent results - better than anything I ever imagined this thing could do. I'm talking about zooming while spanning and capturing stereo audio etc. Yu won't be disappointed if you know how to capture any kind of video.

Yes. It's a great camera - I'm still learning how to use it properly though. Lol!

I'm sorry I can't help because I never use video except by mistake. I only take pictures and I have loved this camera and features. I would like a longer optical zoom so I gpt anoter camera for special occassions, /I wish I could be of help on the video.

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.

I think this will give you a lot more than the option to take "kids pictures". :) I'm a novice abd really bright it for it's videography caPabilities. it is almost professional grade without the price. the add-ons however are rather disappointing. (sorry)

The JVC 1.5Megapixel 1080p is wonderful! Simple to use and you can take photos while videotaping. I have had mine a year and I love it!

It may be just me, but I rarely upload raw, straight video from camera to Youtube. I think every video could use a little clean up and editing before posting. Unless you have something earth shattering, take the time to make it look good. That said, I'm not sure if YouTube will take the native file format of this camera or not. The files are large - reason two for making edits and 'right-sizing' the files. You can make the files the best they need to be for whatever service you upload them to. Finally, I can confirm, without a doubt that this camera does not have the ability to do a wireless file transfer. Good luck!

I haven't used mine much. Still trying to figure it out. Tried it on a trip and got a lot of still pics, but no continuous video. Don't know what I did wrong yet. The pictures looked OK, so I think its just what I did. There's not much of an instruction booklet to help out.

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

While I have used the video, I rarely do. So I am no expert. But, to me, the video is as good as the pictures- the sound is fine. It shot in low light really well, so maybe that helps you? I'd say it is certainly as good as my iPhone is!

My son and I have "played" around with the video recording mode a couple times- I am no expert nor the best person to critique it, however I have had several camcorders and they seem better at video recording than this camera- but for a camera it did alright. I think it takes 29 minutes of video- that's off the top of my head. The camera specs should say. It is a great camera and probably the best entry level slr[t].

Hello Leslie, I haven't explored the video capabilities in depth, but just with base settings, I've been pretty happy with the video capabilities. The images come out clear with smooth fps. I guess it depends on what level of quality you're looking for, at a hobby level, it's been awesome and I am able to use the still photos for my professional work.

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

Yes, it works great. Great CAM. I get complements on the video quality all the time.

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.
