This cam has 5 mp in its pics. I don't know the quality of the video, but it sure isn't HD.

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?

The camera is 640x480 and this applies to both video and stills.The videos are captured at 640x480 and the still Photos are ALSO 640x480, but pixel doubled up to the size of 1280x960. This makes them very grainy and fuzzy.Overall, the camera is very low quality, but it DOES work. If you wish to see actual captured video in two types of light, I have a few of the video on youtube at dusk or low light (http://youtu.be/trhiaBRrduM) and full daylight (http://youtu.be/qF0wdAjsius)

It depends on the lighting. I have filmed indoors with decent lighting and when I upload it doesnt look hd either. Although when I am outside, the quality is very good

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

The camera is poor (1 mp). It is easy to use, but if the camera is one of your main needs, look elsewhere.

I don't know what the resolution is, but the play back and the camera are both good quality. I use the camera for Skype and there is seldom pixilation. When I play movies off the net there is no buffering, the only buffering problem occurs when there is a video off yahoo, or msn news.

Hi Greg T., you may be able to see the answer given on the link below. Its a chart that interpolates the type of videos vs the minutes and size of the file it will take. Files size is interpreted under size of the memory card. Example: If using 1GB of memory, it will record a maximum on 25 min under LP resolution (Long Playing) or the lowest resolution for recordings. Hope this helps. Please see page 84: https://docs.sony.com/release/DCRSX45_handbook.pdf LP: (Long Play) -lowest resolution SP: (Standard Play) HQ: (High Quality)

JPG at 92% quality (verified using IrfanView). Since you're concerned about file quality, I recommend direct file transfer from the memory card as opposed to using the bundled software to perform the file move (unless you take extra care to disable any image enhancement features).

The quality is good with no zoom. I guess the mp are 8. Shooting pictures and recording video are good as well

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

As I remember it, it was 1080p. The picture was very good but I returned it to the store because I needed an audio input from an external mic. While the camera has that feature it produced and clicking noise when used. The company replaced the camera and the new one had the same problem with several different mics. If you do not intend to use and external mic than I can recommend the camera!

I don't know what MP is, but it does have a built in camera! I love this computer.
