If you buy a lens, can this camera take video?

I looked at the camera menu, and it appears it is capable of shooting NTSC (US) and PAL (Canada & Europe) video. I've never tried video, so I have no idea about the results. The instructions I got were not in English, so I downloaded and printed my manual, since I haven't 'Video'd' I have no clue how to set it up. If my memory serves me, the lenses are the the same as the older Canon EOS digitals, and even earlier Canon 35mm film cameras. The lenses we have for 'my' camera are from our first Canon 35mm film camera, and work as good as they did with it. We have 3 lenses, one is for wide angle scenes, one for 'mid range' pix and the third is relatively long lens that we use for 'almost telephoto' pictures. That's the draw-backs, for differences in distance, the lens must be changed for detail. One of my friends had an adapter for the his telescope eye-piece that would adapt the camera to his 1500 mm telescope tube. Now that was a telephoto lens. Do what you will, I like my 20D just fine. It has a masculine feel to it, it fits well in work worn hands. The function buttons must be touched on purpose to change the function of what you want to do. I bought a new Canon for my wife. It was what she wanted, and in her internet research, it was what she wanted. It is all, and more than she wanted. I love the way the camera takes pictures, but the function buttons are so sensitive that I find I change functions when that isn't my intention. However it takes AWESOME Pictures. The 20D is an amazing camera, and cost about a sixth of the price. Buy the lens if you will, shoot your videos, but remember, let me know how they turn out.

I bought this camera strictly for astrophotography and have never thought about video. I got the camera body only and have an adapter for it so it will fit right onto my telescopes in place of the eyepiece. It works great and is delivering great pictures. You might google the camera and see if you can find info on it that way. Ron

I've had mine about two years and love it. I just tried reading the date on a quarter and it was "yes". Yes it does take video. Never tried to see how much it will take, but would probably depend on the internal memory or the batteries. My 20 something grandson can do wonders with the camera. Great camera for the money. Only thing that annoys; the lens cap won't stay on.

Absolutely. This camera takes video in 1080p resolution, although a tripod is recommended.

Not Really. It's meant to take videos of things in front of you - not yourself.

If it fits in the camera and works for taking still shots then it would also work for videos.

That's a great question. The camera has a lot of features but I'm not sure if it's able to do that.

no its doesnt. you dont want it anyway. it ruins the video because you hear the zoom motor in the video. thats why they usually dont enable it in cameras.

The only significant chance is that it has New lens (STM) that can focus quietly, improving video shooting experience. If you have other lenses I do not think it worth to change, unless you use it for specific video shooting.

yes with just a little focusing ... video is a tad fuzzy but pics are great.. just make sure you have a good screen

I can with my Nikon D800 camera, and I can't see why you couldn't with other brands of DSLR type cameras, however I don't know about dedicated Video camera's.

I have not tried video but picture quality is quiet good. Check out the Tamron 14-150 mm M 4/3, which is available now, if you have an Olympus camera. CH

Yes. It does everything the best DSLR does just without being a DSLR. Video is okay.

No. The thread size on this lens is small. It's made for a compact video camera. Depending on your camera lens you'll probably need anywhere from a 52mm on up. Check your lens first before you buy anything.

Yes you can take video,video +audio ..more than that i think video is sometimes better than picture and the optical zoom is fantastic...In short terms i think this camera is better for videos than for taking pictures

open the camera app and you can take or record video. your are going to need to have a memory card for additional storage.

Yes. It takes amazing stills and video. You have the ability to change quality level and environment parameters. Very nice camera built on a drone!
