I've been using it for about a year to shoot several weddings. The only sport like activity I have recorded has been related to running. The camera performs very well when recording in 60fps. The camera is lightweight and very sturdy. The one downside may be the lcd screen that is tucked away within the handle. It may be difficult to pull it in and out during sporting events. However, it should be fine if you leave it out. One thing I might add is that the camera isn't always amazing in low light. I would still recommend this camera over all others at the price range!

Sry Bert, I only use this to tape football games. But my guess is that despite it's versitility, you would probably need video editing gear to edit the commercials out.GL

Tell the truth I haven't tried as when I shoot video the battery runs down soooooooooooo fast it is worthless. I would buy this camera if you are going to shoot videos. Mine will not hold the charge long enough to shoot videos unless you keep changing batteries. I am disspointed in the camera and have returned it twice to fix and still has not been solved. When it does work the video is clear as well as th pictures though.

I LOVE this camcorder. Hi Def is incredible. Still shots (photos) are also great. I use it mainly for sports. I bought a couple different lenses (wide angle & telephoto) because I like what they offer. I personally use Adobe Premiere for editing but Final Cut would be another great option. Wondershare is also decent for quick editing and nothing fancy.

haven't used it yet, but my other Canons (also power shots little different model) do record sound on the video. We'll try it tomorrow and let you know! It should if consistent with all other power shots I've used.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

It wouldn't record for me either. Unfortunately, I ended up just returning it. Sorry, I can't be of any help.

for video recording, i lasted as much as i needed. Longest i used it for was close to 5 min using a class 10 32gb card. I think it records plenty though so it should be good for +5min vids. I did have my battery drained much faster too so keep that in mind. Other than that, yea it's pretty good cam for the price. I getting me a 2nd one which the first one i just had a little scratch on the lens. Hopefully that was helpful! :D

Agreeing with David. The only drawback I get is a VERY slight decrease in the viewing quality on the TV, thus games are still very playable. It does not affect the quality of the recorded video at all.On the flipside, if you own a big TV that's connected to a game console through HDMI and there is input lag, hooking up the Hauppauge to the TV's components and the console will eliminate that input lag.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

Is yours only recording a single 3 minute clip/frame/segment or a number of them? Check your settings. I have mine set for 5 minute frames/segments etc. It records continuously for several hours (32GB) but when I down load the card the entire recording is appears in 5 minute segments. Makes it easier to find a spot in the journey. ??????

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

Hi Lucy. I'm sorry, I haven't tried sports mode, yet. Anyway, I'd recommend you to check the Memory Card class. You should a good one, faster.... Class 10.

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob

It does a good job with video, as it's HD, at 720p. However, it doesn't seem to adjust focus well, if you change the telephoto setting while filming. It's better to stop recording, adjust your teldphoto lens to where you want it, then re-focus before recording again. I have not uploaded to YouTube yet, so I can't comment on that, but it should work OK.

It isn't bad at all! more of a camera for simple recording, i use it for recording sporting events in high light areas

I wasn't sure either because it's not in the recommended list from gopro. I recorded a 7 minute long video (1080p Medium width @ 60fps) a couple days ago and it worked just fine.
