I was stuck between buying the panasonic tz7 and canon sx200 for a long time lol, but after doing my research i realised that canon has always delivered one of the best high quality vidz plus the colour it captures is SO spot on etc...but there's a new one out 'canon sx210' and its suppose to be a MUCH better version of the sx200. watch out! :) hope i helped...
Yes! HD Video Zooming and Refocusing can be done with SX200 IS. My "Mississippi State University 2010" movie provides all kinds of photo/video made using SX200 IS. Read descriptions and find out how to enable optical video zooming and much more!!! (DIGIC 4 Processor inside!)
do you want zoom in video recording?
Try CHDK on your camera, for my sx200 is works fine, automatic programed shots (1x30segs for example), zoom in video recording mode in all modes. RAW mode and much more.
just search that in google or other search engine.
Greetz!
WHY DIDNT HE MENTION COLOR ACCENT/ EXCELLENT DIGITAL MACRO/ COLOR SWAP/ ZOOM DURING VIDEO!
How can cNet give these kinds of reviews when they don't even have the camera features down. This guy obviously didnt have enough time to really get to know the camera. I rely more on owners' reviews rather than critics.
I know! its really frustrating. The Samsung TL225 (dual screens) is a decent camera but the picture quality is just so-so. This guy gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Thats ridiculous. Although the Samsung is all high tech and more modern, Samsung will never amount to even an 1/8 of the type of camera that Canon is . He's always negative about the cameras he reviews. I love this one. he's a little bitch
I KNOW!!! they never talk about the color accent feature. I was between this one and the SD970 because someone stole my SD880 at a soccer game, and I decided to go with this one. The 970 is gorgeous, but i wanted this because it had the zoom, the mp, and the color swap / accent feature
if you want to film with optical zoom you need a hacked firmware...i've got one and I can even autofocus while filming...which is great...look at my video and be amazed:P
has anybody tryed SDHC cards like sandisk ultra, or kington elite pro, in it , and see what the OPTICAL or digital zoom it like" what i cant understand is, why you guys have this camera, if you dont like it, you do have one , right? and have tested it right?
the optical zoom is locked. the zooming you see is digital zoom and thats not as good since you get less resolution the more you zoom in. it is a bit confusing. the flash always pops up and can't be put down!! why would they do that?
Yeah OPTICAL but optical zoom is freakin useless thats just streching the picture and zooming in on the pixels you could as well watch the recorded video on a really really big screen and have the same effect. So you loose al lot of quality.
Thumbs up for the Panasonic!!!
the opitcal zoom is not locked on filming on this camera , you can zoom in and out when recording, and it will play back , and i think that this cannon , is the only maker that has ( colour accent) as this one has its a nice tool . for playing around with black and white shots, but he dont tell you that ,,,,,,
