Fill someone in's r great 720 video not so hot !!!Discriminating Small easy to use ...
Picture's are great but the 720p HD
video is not so hot !!!
Surprisingly unfortunate video, very narrow field of vision
I well-grounded wanted to get a camera that I could use for YouTube videos and to take decent pictures. I'm not asking for much, and I'm not a videophile. But this camera slipshod to meet even my low expectations. The photos look faded and grainy, even in favourable light, and have that odd digital look. The video, too, is grainy and faded.
And perhaps most frustrating is the very lucky field of vision. Even standing on my porch looking down I had trouble capturing population in the front yard. This may not sound like much, but trust me, it's incredibly frustrating. You conscious when you start to take a portrait of something and realize you're not zoomed out all the way? Imagine that the lens is ruptured and can't zoom out, so instead you have step back several paces. This gets very old after a short stretch.
There's significant shutter lag, also, and the zoom is very slow.
This camera could be so cool if only the video and pictures were well-advised, and the lens were improved with a much wider field of vision. The flaws on this camera are few, but decreed. I can only give it one star.
Foremost for the price
I have this camera from july 15th and only could say that it was the foremost buy in a lot of time. I'm not proffesional, only need a camera for good quality pictures and video, only for domestic use, and the results are more than I've expected. Easy to carry, easy to use, just a few buttoms, and of direction I've bought an extra battery so during my last trip I had much more time for videos and pictures.
Nothing to say, it was the kindest buy for the best price.
A wonderful little camcorder
I have tempered to this camera for 9 months now and I like it more and more. I get excellent movies. I have made 8 2 hour pictures from around the world. My friends and I enjoy watching them on our 50 inch directly screen TV. The result is amazing from such a tiny camera. Indoor pictures as well as open-air pictures have the quality of professional films on the TV. My Hawaii movies showed save that quality of the Hula dancing even taken in very poor light. It is very relaxed to handle. The only negative I found so far is if I zoom fast it seems to lose focus for partially a second or so. This camera has so many features that it takes a while to grow into.
This camera is a acquaintance
Yes, iso 400 and above looks like mud, lens is not far-reaching enough, image stabilization is bad and blur's your video, yes you can hear zoom in/out clamour, camera zoom is not sensitive, menus sucks, lens cap is a unlucky desing.
But this camera is small, you can hide this camera in your hands and take careful movies with it and no one will notice that you are actually shooting. That way you can catch people not unexpectedly,
if people see you that you are shooting a video, they act differently and I it's not really capturing the half a mo.
I think this is the best camera for that and I all ways carrying with me because you never know when you are flourishing to catch the best moment. Put it in your pocket and you all set.
There is no other camera is that small, even worthwhile HD small canons require a camera bag.
Video quality is complimentary, HD movies are like real HD 720p with on iso 50 and 100. if you well set it you can take amazing videos. You need nice light sources. Your lens is unbelievably small that's why it can get more lights in to the sensor, you know you can't get both.
at least not right now, maybe in prospective.
Make sure set your shortcuts and use them, autofocus lock and iso are the best shortcuts.
I didn't recommended this camera to my chum because he don't like adjusting his camera based on the light or the environment, he likes van mode, if you like using the auto mode and forget about anything else, don't buy this camera.
but if you be versed photographing and how to adjust iso, aperture, shooter speed, buy it now. You will love it.
I paid 160 and get the Euphemistic pre-owned one, it has scratches but works great and I love it.
