I have a previous model Canon that takes HD video and stores it on the SD Card, the HDMI cable is kind of a Gimmick - You can stream video and pics straight from your camera to your TV but I cant see actually doing that.

fyi...i do it all the time with my sd780...i have a hidden cable hanging from my plasma tv that i simply connect to my camera when needed and therefore can play back all items (pics/vids). very easy and very cool to plug and play.

To see HD samples from sd4500 IS, search you tube dot com for 'sd4500' there are at least 3 samples taken at an airport. Zoom apparrently DOES work during video. also one of the videos shows the miniature mode (Amazingly cool)

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

It would make it unusable for just about anybody Don, so I don't expect that to be the case. The video is stored on the flash memory card in the camera as with the photographs. Just as you can download the photographs to a suitable host (PC), you will be able to download the movies. My most recent experience of a Canon camera was the SD980 but it was certainly the case with that item, and the 720P video from it looked great on my laptop.

If there's a delay between video & sound, it's probably because you need a better processor, more ram, and maybe a newer video card.

Mine did not come with an HDMI cable. In the box was a special cable that plugs into the camera and provides the standard red, white & yellow plugs so that you can plug it into pretty much any TV or video recorder (tape or DVD). I have never used that. In my opinion it is kind of silly to sell an HD camera and then provide an SD video adapter. By the way if you need an HDMI cable, buy the AmazonBasics High Speed HDMI cable. I have 4 of these and they are really good and a great price. Please note: the HDMI port on the camera is a mini-HDMI, so you need an adapter to make a regular HDMI cable fit. I used the Cable Matters mini-HDMI (male) to HDMI (female) adapter. Works great. Hope this helps.

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

I would rather recommend retunrning it and then rebuy it if needed, I bought mine last year and its totally the opposite to your description, works like a charm and displays 1080p, you can even read license plates

Hi Titus. I have the Looxcie HD and the video is 1080 instead of 720 and it's wx resistant. The shape is better for what I wanted too. . . .

Well a class 10 is the best for view streaming video for that camera if you don't have anything important on that card try formating a see what happens if all else fails buy a class 10 you wilsee the difference

Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so). However, I still have my doubt about it. I have not tested it yet because I haven't bought the 3DTV yet. AS soon as I tested will let you know the results.Furthermore, I think that, even if it works, sooner or later, I have to buy a new receiver to feel that I am taking full advantage (or not missing something) of 3D capabilities.If I buy a new receiver, I would buy the new Sony 1010.Regards Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so).

Their HD model streams at a max of 720p, while their more expensive models go up to 1080*. That asterix denotes that the detail is pursuant to what carriers offer. Example; Netflix only streams in 720p.Give a look at what the options are. If you want other components like a usb pnp, than upgrade, however the base model will support your tv. No need to get one that supports 1080 when you have 720p. Save your money and buy me a beer for good advice.

I don't know, it didn't work for me, you have to be very careful in what you use it on. The HDMI must be 1080I compliant or else there won't be an output. If you put a 1080I input into it it will output 1080, if you put an SDI compliant HDMI in it will put out a HD picture with pillars.

Thanks Mark. I have since noticed that the owner's manual for what I think is a predecessor camera (Sony HDR-HC1) is available on amazon. It says that that camera can transfer images recorded in HD to a camcorder or other firewire compatible device that records in SD and convert the images to SD. Assuming that's true for this HD3 as well, then even if my computer and TV are not up to HD editing, I could convert the images using my existing camcorder and edit the SD version, while preserving the HD originals for the day my computer and TV can handle them. I have a son who's growing up fast and I'm eager to start capturing images in HD. Any idea whether a 1080p camera is around the corner? Thanks Mark.

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

================== &gt;&gt;BRiT says: The HD-A30 does 1080p output. The HD-A3 is the one that only does 1080i. &lt;&lt; ================== Thanks BRiT, ... Your Correct, ... I corrected my post above!!!

The hdc sdt 750 is a dual purpose conventional and 3D video camera. To use the 3D feature, the camera comes with a special lens attachment that converts the video signal to 3D. However....you must have a 3D television or monitor in order to playback your 3D video. The HD video playback plays on all televisions, however!!!You should really search Amazon with these keywords (Panasonic HDC-SDT750, High Definition 3D Camcorderby Panasonic) and look at these people have to say. This is the post that sold me on the camera. Read this for yourself......

It claims to recieve HD signals, but based on the tech specs here:http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?prod=STB-T8&main;_cat=03&source;=googleps#MOREspecifically:"480i standard video output"...it seems that all signals are converted to SD.

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.

I'm not sure as I havent look into it. When I got the unit my concern was the way it streamed 1080p content which is so important for me and it failed...
