Curious to know if the Pro 700DX works well for occasional video applications. Have a D-4, and would like to take some video of my Whippet running.

Sorry this is so late, but hopefully this will help. As far as stability is concerned, this tripod won't let you down. However, for video, panheads just aren't the best way to go. This particular panhead is very smooth and will work decently for video and outperform most other panheads I have dealt with, but you're really going to want a different head for video if you intend to use this tripod. The stability and versatility you get with this tripod are phenomenal for the price. You could buy the legs only (around $100 right now on Amazon) and get a fluid video head (EI-717AH for around $75 on Amazon) and have a great video tripod package for the same price as the 700DX with the panhead. That would be the route I would go if I was planning on shooting video with my tripod.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it for game play. I think there is a little lag time. Further, you need to use the Black Magic software package to see what the unit is seeing. So you wouldn't be able to go full screen with the image. It wasn't designed with this in mind. If you wanted to record brag clips this might be a good way to go.

Bill,Thank you for the information. I also looked at some HD solutions from your typical consumer digital camera's but was turned off by the short recording time and large storage space required. It seems you cannot use the zoom feature at all with the DMC-FX35K while shooting video with it. For $199.99, I think the Vado HD is your best choice for HD video recording. Cheers!Oscar V.

One really big difference according to the specs is the BD570 & 590 play Divx HD, Xvid and every other form of Divx/AVI files, and the BD550 doesn't.sorry, just looked closer at the op and I see 580 not 550 was being questioned. I'll leave this comment though because I scoured the reviews and comments trying to find this info.

Hi Titus. I have the Looxcie HD and the video is 1080 instead of 720 and it's wx resistant. The shape is better for what I wanted too. . . .

Sorry I m not home to look but I will later after 6 pm! It is a great buy and serves the best video purchase at a little price. Make sure you use the stabilizer setting , it stop all shaking! Zoom in is clear and I paid 199. 3 years ago totally worth it! Also you can use ant sd card and replay on any video hook up on you tv! Gaf4jesus@aol.com

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

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.

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

Jeff:Thanks for responding! I'm glad you like it so much. I think I'll give it a try. I did read a review that said that Fuji didn't think people buying a camera in this category wouldn't want HD video. I guess that makes sense, although it sure doesn't make any difference to me. Thanks again for a nice response.Steve

i'd suggest searching you tube/vimeo for the handful of clips f/tm700 that were shot in 1080p/24 cinema mode and the HA 1080i mode...judge for yourself if the quality is good enough...if you have at least a dual-core computer 2.0-3.0 ghz you should be ok power wise.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Hi Debbie I use our 380 to record our Church services. The lighting is not that great, but the camera does a wonderful job. Visual as well as sound is great. All settings are on auto with low lux off. I would be glad to send you a DVD if you would like.
