How is the movie application? How long can you record? How clear is the picture? Any idiosyncracies?

Hi! Make HD movie and share HD movies with ease (records in 29-minute segments). In 720p AVI movie mode, you can record 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps for high-quality clips perfect for viewing and editing on your PC.It´s good!The picture is nice; you can edit pictures from the camera with Beauty Effects. good images with great contrast and clarity . No idiosyncrasies.

The Pic is clear. No idiosyncrasies. I don't remember how it records. BUT I would not buy this camera. It is too slow. Like REALLY slow to respond to a shot.

Can't say. The camera did not come with a "card" large enough to record movies. I haven't purchased the upgraded memory "card" yet. I can tell you that my last SONY took beautiful videos.

JHam88: Sorry for the delay! I only checked its function with still pictures. I like your question! I intend, in the next few days, to actually use the movie function with the remote. I would surmise that it will work, but sometimes we all get surprised when something logically should work but doesn't. So, my response to you is that I will actually try it in the next few days and will post for you through this question forum. I will retain the Amazon query and will get back to you. Thanks for piquing my interest. That is how we all learn isn't it? My Best and be back to you soon.. Bob

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

I agree with "The New Mexican" his reponce was spot on. the camera records untill the SD card is filled. if there is a lot of activity then the camera fill's up and you may get and hour of filming. At night the video is grainey, poor but if you know what you are looking for you can get fairly good evidance.

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

The "enhanced" version is useful if you are a snob about how clear the image is. We prefer it after having the standard at first, but it just depends on your personal preference. As for as storage, I would recommend you stretch the fabric to a wooden frame then cover it with polyethylene plastic sheeting (Visqueen) or similar material. We did this for our outdoor theater and it has held up without a problem. The plastic is stabled to the back and after the movie we just flip it over the front to protect it. (We have it in the back and front so it is completely encased.) Ours stays outside on a deck year round. I do not recommend you bend, or fold the cloth for storage. The longer it is stored (or pressed by something while in storage) the more likely you are to have creases in your screen. Also you want it stretched for the best picture.

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

1080p video playback is great. no annoying pixilation or grainy resolution. 720p recording is not the best but with considered; proper lighting etc the recording quality is also very good. after you are done recording, you are not left wondering, what did I just record? both aspects of the laptop's camera are very good and both get my thumbs up!

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

I have not done any video recording but I have read that the autofocus doesn't work well when in video mode. The still photos are great.

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

I don't have that problem. I just have a problem with it not recording sound. The video is great, doesn't have blurry issues, I just can't get audio recording. But other than that, it's a good video.

Hi Jennifer, It only records video. Although they quality is fairly decent enough for you to take stills from it. Hope that helps. Desi
