I know very little about cameras, what I understand 720 is HD and 1080is better which is this system ?

1080 is better than 720 in terms of video quality, the larger number means better quality. This system isn't HD. The maximum resolution is 640x480, which is considerably below hd. The camera is good enough to see what is going on, and you can recognize someone close to the camera, but faces further away would be hard to recognize.

The system has two resolution settings; 640x480 or 320x240. I don't know how that translates into what you are asking. It just determines how much space recording takes. It does have adequate resolution to see the snow falling right now:)

Everything I record is hd, and I don't know the other info.sorry about that.

I have the SX1IS ad SX30IS. Going to sell one of them. I did a comparison of what I called final image quality.http://www.cameramike.com/cameramike/MEDI_1./Pages/SX30is_compare_SX1is.html Yes - RAW output is an advantage but when you reduce the noise of the SX30 image it is of equal or maybe better quality of the RAW SX1 image. Using my simple non technical setup. I did look at other setting but both like iso 80 the best. I do not need a high definition video - so that difference is not important.

I don't know as I haven't compared the two. I can tell you that this one was very easy to install. It works flawlessly and the quality of the captures is at least 720p. It is also VERY easy to use. The dude below isn't really correct. You can record 1080p through HDMI but you cannot output it with HDMI through tv. Component cables are what you need. I went with this one for the price and I couldn't be happier. I might even attempt cutting cable and using this for over the air. Edit: Avermedia does capture 1080i with HDMI but you won't be to output it. This is true of all pvr.

I was at Sam's Club the other day and did a side by side comparison of a 32-in 1080p and 720p playing the exact same programming. I felt I could tell a difference in the HD programming. The 720p had less details in the skin tones than the 1080p.

If I am not mistaken it has the option to change to 1080p. One thing I can say about the camera is the the video quality on 720p is outstanding.

T3i is next version of T3. It is 18MP compared to 12MP in T3. Also T3i can shoot videos at 1080p with 30fps (T3 can only shoot 720p videos)

Here are some other differences:570IS has 1600 ISO, while 710 only goes up to 800 (although with 1600 ISO, it's pretty much impossible to get a clear picture).710IS has better macro shooting capabilities (with a focus range at 1 cm vs. 5 cm for 570IS).570IS has an aperture range of F2.6 to 5.5, while 710IS has a range of F2.8 to 4.8.I believe both have the same video capabilities. I think I'll go with the 570IS

The S550 should be set to the highest resolution capability of your HDTV, which, as you said, is 1080P (HDMI, 1080i if you use the component outputs). Some people actually prefer 1080i through HDMI as it may look smoother, but it's largely a matter of the user's preference. At least one can switch between the two.

Grab a Blu player , as you'll be fine with the 720p ; no downgrade in PQ as the Blu player will still output to 1080p . Just set the Blu player to 1080p (and 24fps to auto) and enjoy the picture .

Why do you say " that the SX10IS will be better for photos" when this is the bottom line of the review you link: Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS has justifiably become one of the most talked-about super-zoom cameras on the market today. It takes the already capable PowerShot SX10 IS with its powerful 20x zoom and articulated screen, but swaps the sensor for a CMOS version which can deliver both HD video recording and fast continuous shooting. As such, the SX1 IS becomes the latest and arguably one of the best hybrid cameras to date, delivering 10 Megapixel stills at up to 4fps with a decent degree of manual control, along with Full HD video in the 1080p format. The SX1 IS is more than just the SX10 IS with HD and fast continuous shooting though. Canon's also fitted an HDMI port to deliver quality output to an HDTV, supplied an infra red remote control to make those HD slideshows even more convenient, and swapped both the viewfinder and screen for wider 16:9 shaped models to better-suit the HD video mode. There's also a digital teleconverter option which can double the reach of the lens without any loss of quality when filming video. The lens motor is also the improved silent mechanism used on higher end cameras and comes with RAW without need to update firmware (my additional comments...the only downside I see is the lower resolution viewfinder but I rarely use viewfinders any more anyway).

The HD SDI is the latest technology that was released recently that does 1080P display. Analog is the the standard CCTV. Thanks

I'll make it easy for you. Get the 4695D. You answered your own question, broadcast at 1080i much better on 1080p than down-convert to 720, don't you think?

The device has 2 options, 1 is 1080p, the other is 720p. So it is up to you to choose.

This is an analog camera system with 4 500TVL cameras - no HD. It's not clear in the description either but only two channels record in D1 - the rest are all lower resolution CIF. The "1080p" reference in the title probably refers to the HDMI output to the monitor. I am generally pleased with the video output of the cameras themselves, but the recorder leaves much to be desired since only two channels record in full resolution. I'd definitely skip this one.

T3i will not take 1080p video. I think it is only 720p. If just for pictures go with the t3i

I did some research on this a couple of years ago and as I recall there is a different model for HD. I do not have the HD camera so did not need the HD version. The HD version was a bit higher in price.
