The video is very clear and crisp. I take a lot of video and really like the quality.

I bought this camera for my mom. She said it never worked right and broke very soon afterward. Maybe it was a lemon? Not sure.

Its just excellent camera in generally, I tried it on rollercoaster, it was awsome. I decided not to use on the highest quality its needless high and keep 2-3Gb for 3-4 minut video.

I also agree that the WX-50 takes great low light picture. I used it at a Disney on Ice night time theater show and both the stills and Movies turned out great.

It takes video just fine. I have only taken short videos. There are other type of cameras designed for mounting to bikes and helmets! This is an awesome camera. It takes incredible picts. Its small and easy to use! I have loved my and my son and his girlfriend both have one as well and love theirs! Definitely recommend!

It takes great videos, I have posted on you tube a ton of my grandchildren, all taken with the Kodak Playfull camera. The quality is very good and it couldn't be easier to get the photos/videos from the camera to computer. The camera is so slim I carry it with me all the time.

It's a lot more camera than is necessary for taking pix of a little kid--it's an extremely versatile camera with many manual adjustments available, but it's also a great point & shoot camera when set to "automatic". I have only used the video a couple of times, which of course eats up a lot of the sim card's capacity. It seems to be OK, but if I wanted a video camera, I'd buy a video camera.

Hi Joel, i re-read what other people say about this cam..pls read Vance Marshall's comments too, it sums up what poorly it does. the touch screen is not as responsive. it doesn't function in indoor low lighting..its program robot kept focusing in low light, in fact won't do the job afterall. i didnt return this cuz the hassle of returning + it's only a hundred bux..i tried it in well lit indoor, the resulting photo was grainy. i know what im talking about cuz i also own a D-90..this is only CUTE AND TINY..is all..not for a real photographer..i bought another coolpix before = S3000 cuz of Ashton Kutcher commercial..that sucked too! i gave it away..the only reason i kept buying Nikon is bc the big dslr's are good..aside from D90 i have a d5100.. this sounds ridiculous telling i have cameras..i am just comparing the cool pix to dslrs..hope this helps!

It is an awesome camera. I love mine. Takes very good close ups as well. Good detail. Best digital camera I have had so far!! Good luck on Ebay.

I have not taken to much video with this camera, mainly because I would rather have a real video camera, but for a digital camera it's not that bad. I have taken one video indoors, and footage itself didnt seem to dark. There was very little light in the room, but the camera was very good with adjusting to that. But it likes to go through baterries like it's cool when you do take video.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

It's good for simple videos with adequate light and sound. Keep in mind it is not a camcorder. It's fine for living room stuff and casual outdoor stuff, however you cannot zoom once it's recording.The video quality (and sound for video) is actually better than some portable blogging cameras (the ones specifically made for shooting low-res video)

How do you transfer the videos to your computer? when i transfer the pics/videos to my computer using the usb cord that was in the box and even tried it with just the SD card ONLY the videos transferred.

It has a camera, not a very good one (lo-res pixel count). I'm not aware of it being able to take video.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.

The 3 answers I saw from others are pretty good, except I have to disagree with the person who said it is bad video. It is a low priced camera and the video is not bad. It isn't high quality HD, but it is acceptable for the price. I don/t have a MAC, but the other answers answered that. It does come with a cable giving you audio & video out that can plug into a DVD recorder, so you can make DVD copies without using a computer.

So sorry for the delay in answering ... my 12 year old granddaughter had the camera with her in Costa Rica. after checking out the camera myself I see that it does take videos but I haven't used it myself so I don't know how great they are. Plus, she lost the instructions and I can't figure this out.

For a point and shoot this camera is really good. The videos come out very clear as well as the pictures. I am pretty happy with it.
